Lifelong Friendships and Student-Led Learning with Gwendolyn Bright and Dr. Christa Matrone

Gwendolyn Bright and Dr. Christa Matrone join the pod in a conversation about their experiences at our small liberal arts alma mater that's been thrust into the Culture Wars. We discuss New College's emphasis on student autonomy, self-governance, and its close-knit campus community. Gwen and Christa reflect on how the freedom to explore diverse interests and chart their own academic paths had a profound impact, shaping their lives and careers long after graduation. We explore the value of serendipitous learning, forging deep friendships, and carrying the spirit of our college days with our families, close friends, and beyond.
