In this episode of the College life podcast, I interview Neely O'Connor. We talk about SO MANY things that are relevant to current college students and the liberal arts.
We talk about Neely's story and her current work as an academic advisor; myths (and facts!) about liberal arts degrees - they aren't what you think!; skills you can develop to make you more marketable; Planned Happenstance Theory; a taste of Neely's experience and passion around young women and mental health.
Here are some of the links we discussed in the episode:
