20: Student Affairs Grad School Prep, part 1

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

A few weeks ago, I reached out to the Millennials in Student Affairs Facebook Group and shared an old blog post that I wrote three years ago with some tips on navigating and researching graduate programs in Student Affairs in Higher Education. From the response this post always receives, I wanted to also ask if any of my recent graduates/new professionals were willing to chat with me about their experiences in grad school. The five folks I speak with on this episode are all FRESH in the field, with no one having more than 3 years of post-grad professional experience. Granted, not all experiences will be represented here, but there truly are some dynamic perspectives and critical critiques of the field as a whole. So I hope you enjoy this first part of the chat. And stay tuned for part two next week!

MUSIC NOTE:
- You get to hear some tunes from the band, Neaux, which just released its debut LP, "Chain Up the Sun," through The Native Sound. Visit their bandcamp page here!
- Neaux is the new fuzzy shoegaze band featuring former VersaEmerge, frontwoman, Sierra Kay. Neaux is a different direction than the former band, but I honestly prefer this direction and it perfectly fits the trope of The Native Sound.
- Snag some physical copies of the new album - including an ultra clear and half pink/half white vinyl pressings - NOW!

ADVERTISING NOTE:
- This week, I wanted to hype up my friend, Dustin Ramsdell's new podcast, the Higher Ed Geek Podcast! Dustin used to host the Student Affairs Collective Podcast and he's off on his own, seeking out the geeks in the field of Higher Education!
