Episode 6: lonely campus podcast with Jalyss Agosto

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 6 features Newhouse graduate student Jalyss Agosto, who is studying Broadcast and Digital Journalism. Jalyss is of Puerto Rican and Peruvian descent who was born in the Bronx but grew up in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Jalyss comes to Syracuse from Westchester University of Pennsylvania, where she studied Media and Culture. Jalyss talks openly and honestly about the struggles of getting settled at Syracuse as a graduate student and finding her network of support. Her story speaks to the importance of self-advocacy and reaching out to find that support on campus when you feel isolated and alone. A special thank you to the Intercultural Collective (IC) for being gracious hosts to ODI's Pop-up Podcasting Studio.
