Episode 2 - "The Prez Paul Podcast"

Dear Nazareth Community, 

The theme of my second "Prez Paul Podcast" is "The Learning Journey: Helping Each of us Find our Part in our Movement for Racial Equity" and I invite you to listen to the conversation with my guests Lisa Durant-Jones, Nazareth’s vice president for Community and Belonging; John Mordaci, assistant vice president for Undergraduate Admissions; Nazareth student Isa Reese, a senior legal studies major, and Nazareth student Sarah Schuler, who is studying for her master’s degree in speech-language pathology. 

In a conversation discussing ways in which our Nazareth community is taking an active role in racial equity, my guests discussed: 
  • The experience of a person of color in the Nazareth community and the importance of having pride in one’s culture and love for oneself at 10:26.
  • How a Nazareth Solidarity and Social Justice civil rights journey to Selma, Alabama, and historical locations and monuments shaped perspective at 14:11. 
  • The importance of understanding race in intersection with other identity dimensions and embracing intersecting lived experiences at 17:21. 
  • The need for laser-focused vision towards transformation and repair in our community so that we become a more inclusive place for all members at 23:40. 
I invite you to listen to the conversation as we continue to explore the wonders of our community and share ideas and conversations that move us together forward. As always, I welcome your comments and any suggestions for future podcasts. Please feel free to call “The Prez Paul” voicemail at 585-389-4500 to share your ideas, or use the Ask a Question form
