Thriving in Unfamiliar Places

 “Thriving in Unfamiliar Places” with guest, Dr. Sydney Freeman, Jr., University of Idaho. Dr. Freeman is a groundbreaker. He is a professor in the Department of Leadership and Counseling at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, the first African American male to be promoted to full professor in the university's history. Being a ‘first’ on a predominantly white university campus is one thing, but having moved to Idaho after having spent a good chunk of his career at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, that is something altogether something else. During our time together, I am going to be probing Dr. Freeman’s essay “Thriving in Unfamiliar Places'' where we dig into his thesis that in order to thrive and be their completely authentic selves, it is essential to follow three keys:  Knowing Who you are, Knowing Whose you are, Knowing Who you want to become.

Overturning Roe & the Impact on Campus

When Supreme Court Justice, Samuel Alito’s draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked and published by POLITICO, immediate response was felt across the country. The US, a nation that once led and inspired other countries and their reproductive rights activists, was now in a freedom free fall. The abolishment of Roe will have immediate and long term impacts on Higher Education - ranging from access to safe abortion, to heightening campus tensions, even enrollment decisions … nothing is off the table. Join us on Friday, May 27 at 11:00am EDT when I will be joined by Attorney and Assoc. General Council at Rhode Island School of Design Joshua Grubman and campus public health educator, and Director of Wellness Services at Olin College of Engineering, Beth Grampetro join Dr. De Veau to discuss this very real and distressing turn for the nation and its impact on Higher Education.
