Welcome to Digging Deeper, the show that unpacks and addresses the tough problems higher education institutions are facing. We are your hosts, Marjae and Shawn, who are dealing with these dilemmas first hand. As graduate students at Elon University in the Master's of Higher Education program, we hope to explore and address these issues by leading great discussions and hosting a variety of guests in those fields.
In this episode, we will be taking a closer look at student involvement and what it means to us.
In the age of unpredictability, universities and institutions have this question come up repeatedly...Are we safe? In this episode, we receive insight on the policies and procedures from Campus Safety and Police Officer Joel Thomas from Elon University. Not only this, but we also explore what safety looks like for different folks and how Kiah Glenn, Assistant Director of the Center for Race, Ethnicity, & Diversity Education at Elon University reminds us of how safety looks very different for other identities on campus.
Bob Frigo, the Associate Director of the Kernodle Center for Civic Life, joins us to discuss the opportunities universities can utilize to engage colleges students around civic engagement.
