    Creating A Campus Transfer Culture Episode 213
    May 27 2025

    Do you have questions about the transfer process? Or how to support students on their transfer journey? Host Ivan Sanchez sits down with Josh Louden, the director of the transfer and completion center, as well as one of our many wonderful counselors, Alana Bachor.

    Listen in as we explore ways faculty can play bigger roles in assisting students with their transfer goals, and nurturing a positive transfer culture on campus. We’ll dig in on transfer opportunities like the TAG and highlight ways we can all be a bigger part of our students’ transfer stories. Enjoy!

  • The Right To Read: Combatting Coordinated Censorship Episode 212

    The Right To Read: Combatting Coordinated Censorship Episode 212
    Apr 29 2025
    “This book makes me feel understood…I see parts of myself within this book and reflected in ways that I didn't think I would ever hear anybody reflect them.” Listen in to hear Mt. SAC students, like Jimmy Smith, thoughtfully reflect on the book Flamer, written by Mike Curarto, who you’ll also hear from in this candid and informative discussion about banned books and the ways in which we can combat coordinated censorship. We’ll explore the importance of the freedom to read, the power of books, and the damage that censorship causes. First, we’ll hear from a few students, and then you’ll join me for a conversation with Mike Curato, the author of the graphic novel Flamer, which has been the target of coordinated censorship efforts. And finally, Lessa Kanani’opua Pelayo-Lozada, Director of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture, will talk about the book banning in the U.S., providing her perspective as the 2022-2023 President of the American Library Association.
