Dear Neighbor
A community podcast sharing stories from Saint Rose
The Dear Neighbor Podcast
Dear Neighbor is a podcast that brings you stories of growth and learning at Saint Rose.
Our production team interviews students, faculty, staff and administration throughout the year to capture voices and experiences from across campus. As we listen to your submissions, we’ll build programs around themes that are important to you, and that inspire all of us to become better neighbors to one another.
Share your own story by recording a conversation with a friend and sending it to dearneighbor@strose.edu, or by speaking with one of our producers in person!
Each and every person on campus contributes to our collective mission of fostering growth and learning. Stay tuned for each upcoming episode, join us for listening parties, and keep in touch as the conversations about radical hope and student-centered pedagogy continue.
