Episode 3: lonely campus podcast with Nate LaForme

Please note that all podcast episodes were recorded and produced prior to July 31, 2025. The Office and Diversity and Inclusion has since closed. 

Episode 3 features Nate LeForme, a transfer student studying philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences. Nate grew up on Six Nations Territory in Ontario and currently lives on Seneca Territory. Nate talks openly about the positives and negatives of adjusting to life at Syracuse University.  He describes the challenge of encountering unspoken assumptions and expectations during the first few weeks on campus, and where he found support to navigate this new environment.  While some students find the pace and culture of SU to be comfortable and familiar, other students learn the culture over time through observation and asking questions.  Nate is now thriving at Syracuse, where he has successfully built meaningful friendships as well as a strong campus community.  A special thank you to 113 Euclid for being gracious hosts to ODI's Pop-up Podcasting Studio.
