In this episode of the Metroscope, I am joined by my esteemed colleague, Jolene Jones, who defines herself as an activist, first and foremost. I ask Jolene about how she defines leadership and what is needed to be a leader to her community. We also explore some of the many ways that an advocate becomes a leader and how Jolene's journey of life-long learning has shaped her understanding of herself as a leader.

We are excited to introduce a new series as part of the Metroscope: Coffee Talk, with a new addition to the Metropolitan, Tom Coffee. Tom will invite various guests of Metro State University to share a coffee with him as he asks them about their unique experiences and what brought them to the university.

In this introductory episode, we are joined by Phil Fuehrer, the director of Student Life & Leadership Development at Metro State. Phil shares his professional journey and offers some advice as to how students can become more involved on campus. We also discuss plans for Coffee Talk and as well as other happenings with the Metropolitan.

In this episode, my fellow MAPLer Andre Anderson and I discuss our journeys as non traditional students and what brought us to Metro State. We also discuss community and why it is so important for helping one find their purpose as well as a sense of belonging. We also discuss personal empowerment and how simply showing up can lead to new and unexpected opportunities for personal growth.
