I am Shreshth Mangla, and I come from the city of New Delhi, India. During my education, I have gained a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and MBA in Technology Management from a renowned institute in Mumbai named NMIMS. I am currently pursuing master's degree in construction management at Michigan State University. In all these years of my education, I have had multiple opportunities to be a part of some international teams, where I have been an active member of the ASCE Civil Engineering conference in 2017, and various such organizations helping women empowerment and social causes. In all this while, I realized a need of a much broader exposure to global education space, and my need to understand the management aspect in construction, which made me choose to pursue my master's in construction Management from the United States. It has been a great experience so far. From learning how to manage multiple projects and juggling my day to day activities of completing course work, and household chores. This has shaped me to become a holistic personality of managing multiple things at a time. During this past summer of 2022, I had an internship in Project Management in a construction company, where I learned how to manage site labor and logistics and the importance of documentation of activities, on top of that I was also preparing a graduate practicum with a professor in my department. After the summer ended, I got another internship opportunity with one of the largest suppliers of energy in Michigan, DTE Energy as a construction management intern where I am assisting project managers. With so many tasks at hand, I have understood to manage my day and timeline of activity scheduled. Moreover, I am also serving as a Vice President of Graduate Student Association of Construction at the School of Planning Design and Construction, which has opened gateways in thinking deeply and interact with industry leaders to conduct workshops and events for the students of Construction Management. I have gained certifications as a LEED Professional and an Associate Constructor in my education here at MSU. I take pride in telling this that I am also a part of Sigma Lambda Chi which is the Construction Management Honor Society that inducts members based on exemplary academic performance. In this episode, you'll discover: - How to maximise your academic experience  - How to say yes in the face of opportunity  - What it takes to re-establish yourself in a new country  - Why consistency of effort matters  - The unique alchemy of a young gun  And more.  Show notes  If you enjoyed this episode, and you've learnt something or it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

The 'Robert Menzies Institute' is set to open at Melbourne University in November. The founders claim the Institute will be a museum dedicated to 'Australia's greatest Prime Minister' but the real project appears to be establishing a conservative think-tank with a board of right wing ideologues including Peta Credlin and Georgina Downer. On this episode we talk to student activists and Graduate Student Association officers Monica Sestito and Brendan Laws about the campaign to stop the Institute and the question of free speech on campus.

On this week's show I welcome Nick Marcil and Alexandra Karlesses. Nick and Alex are graduate students at West Chester University who wrote a piece for the student newspaper The Quad, "Hallmarks of neoliberalism pervade PA system of higher education." In that piece they argue,  "While the promise of market efficiency can seem tempting under such bleak circumstances, it is not a sustainable model of increased access or more abundant resources in higher education. In fact, despite the increasing reliance on this model, inflation-adjusted per-student state funding has declined in 41 states since 2008, according to a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. In PA alone, we have seen about a 40% reduction since the year 2000 in state funding across the board, even as universities continue to struggle and threaten to shut their doors." Now, Alex and Nick are helping launch a new organization, "PASSHE Defenders," Fighting for a Fully Funded State System of Free Public Higher Education. Sounds like an appropriate addition to the Marvel Universe and I'm all in. Find them on Twitter @DefendersPasshe & Instagram passhe_defenders. You can join them for an organizing meeting this Thursday, May 20 @ 7:00 pm - SIGN UP HERE.  It turns out today is a good day to have them on, too. Earlier today the PA Senate Democratic Caucus Policy Committee held a hearing on PASSHE consolidation plans. State Senators Katie Muth, Lindsey Williams, and Judy Schwank led questions for panels featuring faculty, staff, students, and administrators.  Nick Marcil is a first-year Higher Education Policy and Student Affairs masters student at West Chester University. He is a current Graduate Assistant for Student Engagement in the Center for Civic Engagement & Social Impact and will be returning there next year. He graduated from the West Chester University in May 2020, where he majored in Early Grades Preparation and a minor in Mathematics Education (Pk-8). Alex Karlesses is a first-year Higher Education Policy and Student Affairs masters student at West Chester University. She is a current Graduate Assistant in the Twardowski Career Development Center, and thoroughly enjoys counseling students and helping them with their postgraduate plans. She was also recently elected as the Vice President of the Graduate Student Association, and plans to use her platform to promote and plan programming for first-generation students, as well as help graduate students obtain any resources they need to help secure funding or further aid for their studies. She graduated from the University of Delaware in 2017, where she majored in English and Journalism.  

Living away from home, it's good to have a community of people like you. Usually for international students it is the Indian student organization at their university. We spoke with the Texas A&M Indian Graduate Student Associate (IGSA) President Rohit Dube to understand what the organization does to help Indian students. We talked about mentoring, cultural events, networking and how the IGSA is dealing with the pandemic.

Every week this podcast will highlight some of the many voices behind the UCSC wildcat strike. Since December 2019, UCSC graduate students have been striking in pursuit of a cost of living adjustment, or COLA, to lift themselves out of rent burden and address, with urgency, issues of housing and food precarity. While our longer episodes in this series feature snippets from oral history interviews between myself and my fellow wildcat strikers, today’s episode is a more informal minisode dedicated to keeping our listeners up-to-date with all COLA-related news. Today’s episode consists of a special reading of three items that when considered together tie the suppression of peaceful protests with police violence and systemic racism at work at UC and UCSC in particular. The first is a reading of UCSC Wildcat Daily Sheet from May 27, 2020 titled “Hands off Carlos” that makes visible the systemic racism perpetuated by UCSC administrators against its black, brown, indigenous, and other POCs on our campus. Link to the document here: https://payusmoreucsc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/hands_off_Carlos_May_27.pdf To read the Vice article on anti-terrorist surveillance used on UCSC graduate students, click here: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7kppna/california-police-used-military-surveillance-tech-at-grad-student-strike The second is another official sheet from the UCSC Wildcat Daily Sheet dated May 27, 2020 titled “Drop the Charges! Abolish the board!” that draws connections between punishments issued in the student conduct hearings against COLA activists and the Undocu Collective with both implicit and explicit use of discriminatory rhetoric ingrained in UC’s student conduct hearings and systems of discipline. Link to the document here: https://payusmoreucsc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/drop_the_charges_May_27.pdf The third, and final item, is a statement released by UCSC’s Graduate Student Association dated June 1, 2020, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis cop that calls for UCSC and the UC system to remove cops from campuses for the safety of its students. This will admittedly be a long episode, but I hope that you stick with us to the end because these issues are important. If you are as angered by the UC’s actions as we are, we ask that you take a moment to make your anger known to UCSC admin. We call on every member of the UC community to condemn the racist student conduct system. Per the student code of conduct, the Chancellor has the ‘final authority’ on the outcome of all student conduct discipline. So show your solidarity by Emailing BOTH Chancellor Larive at chancellor@ucsc.edu and Dean of Students Naiman at gnaiman@ucsc.edu, to demand that all student conduct charges be dropped immediately. Then after you have emailed them, tag us across social media using the hashtags #HandsOffCarlos and #CopsOffCampus Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @payusmoreucsc for even more updates.

Transcript Dr. Daniel Fincke has his PhD in Philosophy from Fordham University and is certified in philosophical counseling by the American Philosophical Association. Dan spent 11 years teaching in college classrooms before going into business full time for himself as a philosophical advisor and private teacher. In 2005, he won the "Teaching Fellow of the Year" award from Fordham University's Graduate Student Association.  As a philosophical practitioner Dan helps people reason through their search for meaning and purpose, and their beliefs, values, priorities, identities, emotions, ethical dilemmas, life decisions, existential quandaries, religious or post-religious struggles, love relationships, and interpersonal conflicts. Dan does not treat mental illness. He simply helps people reason more clearly, consistently, ethically, and proactively about their lives. Even psychologically healthy people need someone to talk to. Everyone has struggles that a little conceptual clarification, logical consistency, theoretical sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and an outside perspective could go a long way towards solving. Dan also teaches philosophy classes independently online. His classes are for anyone interested in philosophy and require no background in the subject. The classes are held as live, casual, personalized, interactive, discussion-driven videoconference sessions. They are tailored to the needs of busy lifelong learners who want stimulating discussion rather than canned programs. They are stress-free, requiring no outside work and neither payment nor guilt for missed sessions.

In this episode of Heinz Radio guest interviewer Claudia Bustamante from Carnegie Mellon’s Latino/a Graduate Student Association sat down with John Polga-Hecimovich, assistant professor of comparative politics at the United States Naval Academy, to discuss the ongoing political and economic turmoil in Venezuela. Claudia and John discuss the details of the conflict, the key players in the current political standoff, and the role of bureaucracies, the military, and the international community in any potential resolution. In May, following the initial interview, John called back in to give an update on new developments in Venezuela after Juan Guiado called for mass mobilization against Maduro on April 30th. We at Heinz Radio would like to extend a special thanks to Claudia for hosting today’s episode, and to John Polga-Hecimovich for his generosity in speaking with us twice.  You can find the latest insights from John by following him on Twitter at @jpolga

The social justice college campus lynch mob strikes again at UCLA.  Milan Chatterjee was a law student and president of the Graduate Student Association when he was accused of violating a policy at UCLA called "viewpoint neutrality."  Chatterjee says his offense was remaining neutral.  That's right, in the upside down world of alleged campus tolerance and so called social justice Chatterjee says he was accused of refusing to take sides in a politically charged matter, and a campus investigation found him guilty of violating "viewpoint neutrality."   In this episode of TALKENOMICS Chatterjee says the UCLA administration sacrificed him to the mob by denying him legal representation during what he calls kangaroo court proceedings.  But, a confidential report from the investigators which university staff posted on the internet concluded Chatterjee had violated the "viewpoint neutrality" policy because there was no requirement for him to remain neutral. Chatterjee says students opposed to his neutral position slandered his reputation online, and it got so bad he had to withdraw from school and move from Los Angeles to New York to pursue his education.  In a scathing letter sent to UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, Chatterjee wrote, "I have been relentlessly attacked, bullied and harassed..." His story is a warning for any student who dares anger the thought police.
