Episode 2: lonely campus podcast with Trinity Jennings-Pagan
Episode 2 features Trinity Jennings-Pagan, a first year student from Staten Island, New York. Trinity talks about how she ended up at Syracuse University and her experience navigating SU's social landscape. She delves into her first few days on campus, when she realized that she was "seeing my people, but I'm not with my people." Trinity then details how she figured out how to make introductions and ended up creating some great memories and quality friendships. A special thank you to the Barner-McDuffie House (previously known as 119 Euclid) for being gracious hosts to ODI's Pop-up Podcasting Studio.
