3/7/2014 - Interview of special guest Taylor Ludtke!
We’re on the homestretch until Spring, guys! Study hard and hang in there!
On today’s show, the crew interviews special guest Taylor Ludtke! Taylor is a Northern California native, who transferred from Humboldt State University to PSU. She works with DJ Great Scott as a peer adviser here at PSU and her main focus is working with transfer students - Taylor travels to community colleges, holds workshops with transfers students interested in psychology, organizes presentations, and works in the drop-in advising office.
Taylor explains how she got to be a peer adviser and some of the duties she performs as a peer adviser, and also how being a peer adviser has helped her in her college career.
She is currently working on grant writing for sustainability online as her senior capstone (by the way - this may be a great capstone option for those of us who work a lot and have time constraints).
Fun fact: Taylor is also a contributor to this blog!
Great Scot and Thrill submit Taylor to the dreaded “Bernard Pivot Questionnaire“ (bom-bommmm!).
Also, Thrillhouse explains his epic battles with illness. Tune in!
