Becoming an Anchor Institution: In our nineteenth episode of the second season, Co-Host J.R. Jamison sat down with Valerie Holton and Emily Sladek, of CUMU and The Democracy Collaborative respectively, to discuss the Anchor 101 Framework, what it means to be an anchor institution, and whether or not the Higher Education Mission Initiative and the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement are mutually exclusive. They also make a stop off in Pop Culture Corner to talk Notorious RBG, the history behind Pride Month, and how to continue to support Puerto Rico in the continuing aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
