I would like to thank the Swarthmore College Richard Rubin Scholars program for financial support as I realize this long-held passion. Thank you to Dean Karen Henry and Rosemary Tourish from the Office for First-Generation / Low-Income Students. I am equally grateful to Professor Edwin Mayorga from the Education department who has invested a great deal of time and energy in this project.

Other folks who merit a special thank you: Ashley Turner, Senior Academic Technologist, Simon Elichko, Social Sciences and Data Librarian, Donna Fournier, Performing Arts Librarian, and Andy Hines, Senior Associate Director of the Aydelotte Foundation.

Thank you to my friends and loved ones for supporting me and listening to this.

Finally, I am most grateful to Jeremy Polk for diving deep into the numerous technical and creative hurdles of this summer with me; without him, this podcast would not exist.
