<p>Today’s guest has the job of creating a place for students to connect with one another while being active. It sounds so lame when it’s said like that but trust me, what this person has created is so much more than simply a place to workout. Since the recording of this episode, this person has retired from the director of Recreational Services after serving in the role at Augustana for 36 years. Congratulations Mark Hecht on your amazing service to the students of Augustana University. Your 3 and a half decades of devotion has built this incredible community where people make life-long friends, become leaders of the future, and create everlasting memories.I hope the listener are as excited as I am to hear from one of the most influential staff members Augustana has ever had and the journey he has been on. Enjoy this remarkable conversation as we go back to college with Mark.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>SHOW LINKS</strong></p><p>Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/zac.stevenson_/"> Zac on Insta</a></p><p>Listen to the podcast on</p><p>Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/366U9QQazfrR7VMoOHE6Ru?si=a3a4691e4d8d457e</p><p>Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/back-to-college/id1704626461</p><p>YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Back_to_College</p><p><br></p><p>Find your bold at Augustana: https://www.augie.edu/</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Trailer2:21 Intro4:40 Welcome Mark5:06 Director of Rec Services6:27 Starting in the 80's9:37 35 Years of Growth12:44 The exclusive "Late Night" events17:15 For Students By Students18:31 Not Letting the Students Have All the Fun21:55 Adopting a Student Perspective23:33 Attract People, Build Leaders26:58 Making a Real Impact on Students29:50 96%33:45 The Greatest Sport You Didn't Know Existed38:27 The Hardest Part about Mark's Job40:17 What Kept Mark Going43:30 Mark's Letter Grade45:10 Advice For Mark Right Out of College</p>

<p>Today’s guest actually started college in her home Country. We hear about it was like moving away from home to attend university at Ecuador’s capital, Quito, changing from a medical student to studying economics, doing a high school exchange to the US, transferring from University in Ecuador to College in the America, challenging religious and personal beliefs, participating in debates at the model UN, working in the trust fund industry, getting married, dreams for the future, discovering personal truth… and everything in between.I was honestly quite amazed at the life journey this person has been on to become the person she is today. Her curiosity through learning and understanding has and continues to allow her to overcome obstacles and find her truth.There’s a wonderful feeling I have every time I get to see this person. She has an incredibly warm, welcoming aura. She really just an awesome person.I hope that you enjoy our conversation as we go back to College with Samy.<br>SHOW LINKSFollow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kateclem97/">Samy on Insta</a>Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/zac.stevenson_/"> Zac on Insta</a>Listen to the podcast on;Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/366U9QQazfrR7VMoOHE6Ru?si=a3a4691e4d8d457eApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/back-to-college/id1704626461YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Back_to_CollegeAugustana University:Find your bold at Augustana: https://www.augie.edu/Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Trailer2:15 Intro4:48 Welcome Samy6:26 Growing Up in Ecuador7:58 Starting Uni in Ecuador8:59 Wanting to Become a Doctor11:08 Wanting Other Things in Life12:40 Switching to Economics15:15 Getting a Taste for South Dakota18:05 Decision to Study in the US20:17 Transferring to the US22:10 Ecuadorian Food VS American Food25:10 Studying in America28:44 College in America VS University in Ecuador31:19 The US Classes33:57 Government Club35:16 So Much to Learn45:16 Samy's Letter Grade46:29 The Non-Obvious Highlights51:31 What makes Augie Special for International Students54:49 Working in Wealth57:06 Samy's Dream58:27 Getting Married61:10 What Would Samy Tell her High school Self?</p>

<p>Today’s guest comes is a Sioux Falls local. We hear all about what the local South Dakota culture is like, growing up a theatre kid in high school, coming to college on a bet, the pursuit of a career in publication, why living on campus is so unique, the elaborate plan to move to Austin, working as a freelance photographer doing senior pics and weddings as well as creating music videos for Sioux Falls artists, the sporadic skillset of a content coordinator… and everything in between.</p> <p>It wasn’t until later on in our college journeys we met each other in the photography lab. I find it remarkable that we’re both now working deep in the creative industry, especially since that wasn’t the direction either of us were heading at the beginning of college.</p> <p>I’m proud of the growth this person has had as a creative and as a person since our time in photo class. She has a strong creative spirit that continues to shine brighter overtime.</p> <p>Please enjoy this conversation as we go back to College with Katelyn.</p> <p><br></p> <p>SHOW LINKS Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kateclem97/">Katelyn on Insta</a> Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/zac.stevenson_/"> Zac on Insta</a> Listen to the podcast on; Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/366U9QQazfrR7VMoOHE6Ru?si=a3a4691e4d8d457e Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/back-to-college/id1704626461 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Back_to_College Augustana University: Find your bold at Augustana: https://www.augie.edu/ Chapters:</p> <p>00:00 Trailer 1:44 Intro 3:35 Welcome Katelyn 5:28 Meeting in the Photo Lab 7:07 Working as a Content Coordinator 8:35 Wanting to be a Writer 10:50 Sioux Falls Local 12:18 Highschool in South Dakota (Band) 15:23 Deciding a College on a Bet 18:04 Aspirations for College 18:42 American Highschool Vs American College 21:35 Living On and Off Campus 23:57 Plans to Move to Austin Texas 28:07 Drive Through Graduation 31:28 Zac's Personal Graduation 34:04 Zac's Abrupt End to College 37:26 Freelance Photography 41:12 Photography Vs Videography 43:24 What Makes Photography Special 45:56 Katelyn's Dream Job 47:25 No Shortcutting Experience 49:44 Katelyn's Letter Grade 53:12 Everybody Knows Everybody 54:39 Advice to High school Katelyn</p>
