College campuses are exciting places—from the students that form their social fabric to the fascinating faculty, staff, and administrators that lead these efforts on our campuses nationwide. Join our show where we explore topics that impact college students and their experiences on our ISU campus and beyond. We will talk about ideas and events that impact students outside the classroom, such as athletics and student activities, as well as student populations that are generating attention nationwide, namely first-generation college students and students in their first year of study. From college presidents, coaches, and nationally recognized experts, learn more about what makes the college student experience so impactful for all. Perhaps we may take a deeper dive into current events impacting college campuses or brainstorm deeper topics such as the purpose of higher ed or what the future of higher ed may look like for all. Borrowing from a mentor and colleague, we will always ask each guest, “What is your personal mission statement, and why?” We look forward to having you join us!
