About the Special Nature of College with Lorenzo Baber
Welcome to 'Round About Campus, the podcast for the About Campus magazine, the scholarly magazine of ACPA-College Student Educators International.
In our fourth and fifth seasons of 'Round About Campus, we are taking on a super-sized series focused on student development theory. We tackle big topics, ask challenging questions, and seek new perspectives on what makes this place called college unique when it comes to how students learn, grow, and change. In this episode, co-hostesses Alex C. Lange and Z Nicolazzo are joined with Lorenzo Baber to discuss what makes college special (or not so special), including the importance of community colleges, higher education and K-12 partnerships, and how to support student success/development at all institution types.
