Podcast Overview

Welcome to the Ekta podcast, where we hear from students about how to foster unity and solidarity – or 'Ekta' – on Canadian postsecondary campuses. We take time out to listen to university students as they share their stories about what has made them feel powerful and powerless in their education journeys. We also hear their thoughts on practical steps we can take to create more inclusive, anti-racist spaces.

Rydel

<p>Rydel Cawile, a General Studies student from the Philippines, tells us what it was like to come to UFV as an older student with a wife and two young children. He likens being an international student to trying to build and maintain a house of cards: one card falls - tuition, work, family, health - and it threatens the whole structure. He urges instructors to keep in mind the mental and emotional toll that can take and to keep incorporating flexibility into their courses.</p>
