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 5 of the lonely campus podcast was recorded live at the spring 2024 Campus Forum, an event sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion that took place on Monday March 4th in the Sheraton's Regency Ballroom. Each semester vice president for diversity and inclusion Mary Grace Almandrez holds a forum to share information about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility work being done throughout the Syracuse University community. Attendees were invited to sit down at the pop-up podcasting studio and asked to share why they came to work or study at SU, where they found on campus the most sense of belonging, and any suggestions that they had to continue to create sense of belonging on campus. Featured guests include DEIA Learning and Development Specialist Christina Papaleo as well as School of Education graduate students Kendall Taleah Edwards, Weijun Zhang, and Rose Mostafa-Shoukry.
