Podcast 1/24/2014
Given that it's nearing the end of MLK Jr. week, DJ Great Scott and special J.R. Tarabocchi (Coordinator for Outreach and Advancement for PSU) listen to one more speech about how non-violence is the most potent weapon:
"Through violence, you may murder a murderer but you cannot murder murder... Through violence, you can murder a liar but you cannot establish truth... Through violence, you can murder a hater but you cannot murder hatred... Darkness cannot put out darkness, only the light can do that." (Martin Luther King Jr, 1967)
J.R. discusses his involvement with local businesses who support PSU, one of which being Joe's Burgers, which has the "Scholarship Burger" contest, where students submit ideas for a delicious burger (try the "Hot Green Viking"!) to go on the menu. Half of the proceeds from the sales of this burger circulate back into PSU to fund student scholarships. Another business that J.R. works with is Zip Car that funds the Student Employee of the Year reward, and offers free driving-credit for students traveling to community service project sites.
The show ends with a TED talk by Diana Nyad (who swam 100 miles from Cuba to Florida) on the concept of not giving up. What are some of themes we can take from Diana's TED talk that reflect the life of Martin Luther King Jr?
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Applications to be a commencement speaker are due by FEB 28th.
The GRAD FAIR is this Tuesday(28th) starting at noon and going until early evening (SMSU 327-8-9)

Women's Resource Centers Call to Men!
Check out the Women's Resource Centers Call to Men!
https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive-complete/1380924001.mp3
Week 1 (October 4th) The Director of the Women's Resource Center (Jessica Amo "Jamo") came to our show and shared information about the Women's Resource Center, and their BIG BANG event of the Year in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Jessica and the WRC fiercely organized to shine light on men's role in Domestic Violence. They invited the Internationally recognized Tony Porter to our campus for two Workshops and a Keynote event Wednesday October 9th (A mandatory event for all student athletes -over 200 of them- since most people look to them as an idol of "Masculinity").
Tony Porter's organization "A Call to Men" trains institutions like the NBA, NFL, the Military and other organizations with a traditional view of masculinity - which are intense and sometimes unsafe places to question the socialization of men. Tony asks the hard questions like "How does gender socialization relate to the normalization of violence" and he has a gift at articulating what masculinity looks like, how can it look differently, and how to create safer communities.
Here is a link to Tony Porter's Infamous TED Talk:

Nothing to lose, Everything to Gain
Diversity and Multicultural Student Services was in the house this monday, and I'm still being fed off the energy. Having sister departments do a show together is bound to be interesting, -full of laughs, banter, uplifting speech, and more laughing.
Asst. Director Melanie Dixon; Scholar Kenneth De Weese; and Intern Kathleen Steppe gave a beautiful, luminescent, spotlight on DMSS, and its ability to retain students who are low income, first generation, and from diverse communities and backgrounds by building a community on campus, financially empowering students, and providing "life" advising.
Here is the podcast for the show:https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive-complete/1377558001.mp3
