Is There Life...after Loyola?!
Posted on 11/16/09
No matter where you are on your educational path, sooner or later you will have to come to grips with Life After Loyola—also the name of a new program to be offered to seniors this January. Listen as Dr. Snyder speaks with seniors William Udovich and Katerina Kienle about what’s next in the lives of students. Though the new program is offered to seniors only, Will and Kat lay out the many issues that all students must face... in the next life.
The music this time, created wholly by Dr. Snyder in his home, is a remix of an LCAST classic, meant to bring to mind the many ways in which a focused life can continue to bloom, bountifully.
Ever wonder where on campus you might find places best suited for studying? In the latest episode of LCAST, Dr. Snyder interviews sophomore Kaitlin O'Neill; seniors Emily Anderson, Dennis Delany, and Charlie Taibi; and graduate student Abigail Slowik about their favorite places to study and what makes those places special.
The music for this episode is a new track – written, played, and mixed by Dr. Snyder at home. Tune in and find out why Charlie (and this episode’s other guests) will not be studying to it!
