QUOTABLES:
“I think especially now is a good time that there is such disruption, to really rethink the aid packages that are provided to the students, and try and refocus those to help support the neediest students.”
“We have to make sure that everyone understands that we're pretty close to a crisis situation, where we need to get more students to participate for the long term benefit of our community, of our state, and ultimately, our nation.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
