The Homebase Podcast is where student success happens.
Welcome to Homebase, the podcast exploring the keys to college success and personal growth. I’m your host, Dr. Pope, and today, we’re diving deep into how students can survive and thrive in their college journey.
In collaboration with YMOCA, an organization committed to supporting young men of color through mentorship and community initiatives, today’s episode is focused on giving you the tools and strategies to take control of your academic experience. We’ll discuss the importance of developing agency—the power to make choices, shape your future, and overcome obstacles.
As someone who’s spent years working in higher education, I’m passionate about helping students from all walks of life find success, especially those who may face unique challenges. Whether you’re a first-generation college student, navigating a new environment, or looking for ways to excel, this episode is for you.
We’ll cover everything from building supportive networks to finding your academic voice and embracing the growth mindset that’s crucial to your success. It’s all about tapping into your potential and being your own advocate so you can make the most of your time on campus and beyond.
