According to the historian Matthew Warshauer, there was no giant conspiracy on 9/11. The real story about September 11, 2001, he argues in his provocative new book Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation, is its impact on Gen Z who he believes should be renamed the 9/11 Generation. 9/11 and its disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he argues, have created a lost generation of young Americans without faith in the country's institutions or elected officials. They've been “cast out of the Disneyland” of a unipolar world, he warns, and their cynicism and distrust is only compounding the seemingly never-ending political, economic and cultural crises of the United States over the last quarter century. Rather than the internet and social media, he believes, 9/11 is the root cause of America's current age of anxiety. Matt Warshauer is a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, his under-graduate alma mater, where he learned that passionate, devoted professors can change lives. Originally bored and uninterested in school, he bounced around the country with his family, attending three different high schools in four years – from California to Illinois and then ultimately to Connecticut. He didn't even want to attend college, but compromised with his parents by going to Norwalk Community College for a few semesters and then transferring to Central.  Even upon his initial arrival at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), Warshauer's focus was not particularly academic. He studied marketing, but majored in partying. It wasn't until he met professors like Norton Mezvinsky (History) and Barry Leeds (English) that Warshauer's mind was turned on. He has been fascinated with American culture ever since and, basically, trying to figure out how the United States got to where it is today. One of his key interests is the paradox – a core dispute about the meaning of the nation – that has always existed in American society and which is so apparent today with the election of Donald Trump and the extreme divisions that cut to the core of who we are as a people.  Warshauer's study of “the paradox” first focused on early American political and constitutional history, particularly from the nation's founding to the Civil War. Books and articles on Andrew Jackson, slavery, and the political divisions that led to the Civil War were the result. Most recently, Warshauer has turned his focus on 9/11 and memory.

Strategies for Seamless K-12 to Higher Ed Transitions, Embracing Online Learning, and Building Strong Institutional Foundations The second half of this two-part series with Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU)'s Chancellor Terrence Cheng explores the strategy CSCU uses to better communicate to high schoolers how connected K-12 is to higher ed to ensure equity and accessibility for all students. Cheng also shares how his system is revolutionizing its online learning model to better serve local businesses and CSCU's students across numerous campuses. Evolving Online Learning Beyond COVID-19 Specifications Although in the early stages, CSCU is working to deliver online learning that's effective, accessible, and cost-efficient. Cheng communicates to his presidents that the system-wide implementation of the online program does not have to be the same at every campus. These online programs need to amplify each institution's unique offerings, assets, and stakeholders rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution. Creating a Clear Pathway to Community College Using the Common App, CSCU created a legislature-driven, GPA-calibrated automated admission program that will be implemented at the state's 17 technical schools and CSCU's 17 community college campuses. Upon graduation, students will be automatically accepted at their local community college. CSCU is also bringing its IBM P-Tech partnership with Norwalk Community College and Norwalk High School to scale. The goal is to effectively convey that there's a very clear bridge to higher education after 12th grade, almost like a “13th grade.” Five Recommendations for Higher Education Leaders and Boards Trust your instincts. Remind yourself that you got to be where you are today by doing things a certain way, so it's okay to rely on your instincts. However, it's still important to listen. Make changes sooner rather than later. If you know that you need to make some staff or organizational changes, give yourself enough time to gather the data. But don't take too long because that can have detrimental effects. Own the narrative of your story. Don't let others tell your story for you. Get out there. Be upfront. Be ruthlessly honest with the data. Have integrity in what you say. But make sure you say what needs to be said. Have a good mentor. It's helpful to have current and/or past presidents and chancellors who can provide support for you and even suggest what to steer clear of. This advice is critical, regardless of whether you've been a president or chancellor before. Every campus is different. Build a strong relationship with your board chair. This is probably one of, if not the most critical, relationship a university president can have. It doesn't mean that you tell him or her what to do, or vice versa, but if the two of you can be joined at the hip, it's going to make things far smoother for you in the long run.   At a Glance How higher ed is not meeting 21st-century students and what can be done to remedy this. What higher ed needs to start destigmatizing to truly succeed. Why having a “winning team” mentality is so important for higher ed.   Read the transcript →   About Our Guest Terrence Cheng Terrence Cheng is president of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) system, which oversees 12 community colleges, four state universities, and Charter Oak State College and serves more than 72,000 students.   About the Host Dr. Drumm McNaughton, host of Changing Higher Ed® podcast, is a consultant to higher education institutions in governance, accreditation, strategy and change, and mergers. #HigherEducation #ChangingHigherEd #TheChangeLeader

If you are like me, when you hear the term lunch lady you immediately think of Adam Sandler and Chris Farley, but today's guest on Uncorking a Story, Vanessa David, smashes that stereotype. But this episode really isn't about lunch ladies—it's the story of a woman who overcame struggles and heartache to find the love within. Meet Vanessa David Vanessa David graduated from Western Connecticut State University with a BA in Theatre in 1995 and spent over 20 years working in the theater as an actor, playwright and stage manager. Her acting credits include Ron Destro and Yoko Ono's Hiroshima at Theatre for the New City in New York, A Cup of Coffee at Yale Repertory Theatre directed by Joe Grifasi, and As You Like It with Shakespeare on the Sound directed by Ezra Barnes.  Vanessa's plays have been performed across the country and several are published by Smith and Kraus. Having a theater career means having survival jobs, and Vanessa worked as a frozen yogurt slinger, sandwich artist, cake decorator, and eventually typecast herself as a server. Later in life she went back to school at Norwalk Community College and earned a Culinary Arts Certificate. When she got a job with the Darien School Lunch Program her culinary and theater skills came together for seven joy-filled years, and then it all came apart. The only thing she could do after that was write a book. Vanessa lives in Connecticut with her husband, Dave, and their dog, Apollo.  Key Topics: How her mother's insistence that she become famous impacted Vanessa from a young age. Vanessa's history in the theater, including all the ups and downs. Why Vanessa turned to writing plays. How an interaction with a lunch lady in middle school impacted her decision to earn a Culinary Arts Certificate. How she reinvented what a lunch lady is and the important role she played in the lives of students. Why she wrote a memoir about her time as a lunch teacher and how it helped her heal some childhood wounds.

After graduating from the UConn School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Maria took a residency in pediatric dentistry at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. In 2014, she became a board-certified pediatric dentist. Dr. Maria serves as adjunct faculty at Norwalk Community College. She has been instrumental in teaching and mentoring in the dental assisting program.Dr. Maria loves working as a pediatric dentist because every day is interesting and fun, as well as a challenge. The challenge is to maintain or restore good oral health without creating fear or anxiety. Dr. Maria uses compassion, kindness, a good sense of humor, and a lot of coffee to achieve these goals. She especially enjoys working with patients with special needs.Oftentimes, parents get overwhelmed when dealing with their child's mental health problem and they get to a point where they're starting to lose hope. That shouldn't be the case, however, because there are safe and natural solutions.One of the treatments that's been proven effective by thousands of research studies is neurofeedback. For today's episode, we have Dr. Maria Sciaudone, a pediatric dentist, to share her life-changing experience with neurofeedback.When did you know you were anxious?Generally, when it comes to these things, Italians don't talk about anything but Dr. Maria has seen it as she comes from an Italian family. People tend to divert their attention to food when confronted by something.Dr. Maria has seen it in her brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. Feel anxious about something? Eat. You're sad? Eat. It's like the solution for everything is to eat. That's because they struggle with their feelings. They don't know how to deal with everything because there's a stigma with mental illness.What's the level of anxiety that is healthy?Everybody has anxiety but what differs is the level of anxiety because there's a level of anxiety where it just stops becoming healthy for us to manage. In fact, it's easy for life stressors to flare into a full blown anxiety.Of course, it's inevitable to experience hardships in life and when things get tough, that's when you'll know who the true people are in your life and who you can rely on. That's what makes neurofeedback a great tool. It calms the brain down which results in lowering down your child's anxiety level to a point where it allows your child to comfortably do other things. It helps your child become more focused and it also improves your child's mood.What do you try to do for self care?Despite stopping neurofeedback, Dr. Maria continuously moves forward. She's able to structure her life well by doing other activities that boost and promote both mental and physical health.One of the common therapeutic exercises that most people do, especially those dealing with mental health problems, is yoga. It has been proven to be working effectively in alleviating one's distress and improving one's mood.Having good massage sessions and facials are also as therapeutic as getting exercise. All in all, these self care activities help improve one's attitude and outlook. When you have an anxiety disorder, you lose control of your rational thought.What most people don't realize is that it's easy for our brain to go into fight, flight or freeze mode when we're in a heightened situation. Consequently, we lose control of our rational thought when we're overwhelmed and our degrees and IQs are immaterial in such

Mike Squires is a director, filmmaker, photographer & music producer. While in NYC recently, he saw a photo he had taken and a logo that he had designed on a billboard in Times Square. For him it was a reminder that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Born & raised in Stamford, CT, his parents supported his creative endeavors from day 1. Working a landscaping job all summer while he was 16, he saved up enough money to buy used camera equipment. Just two months later, he was on stage shooting Big Sean. One of the hardest moments he faced in his childhood was having his house burn down and losing everything. Instead of letting this experience hold him back it taught him a valuable lesson, that everything is replaceable. Although he knew he wanted to follow a creative career, he attended Norwalk Community College to appease other family members. With time he decided to drop out as he was beginning to get bigger opportunities offered to him. In the past he’s shot videos for artists Sammy Adams, Yonas, Devvon Terrell & two previous guests of this podcast Cam Meekins (Ep 72) and Abstract (Ep 96). Whether it’s through visuals or music production he aspires to inspire the people that support him. In this Episode he discusses why we should never stop learning, his favorite quote “if you do nothing, nothing happens”, the small wins add up, how to build confidence and why we need to believe before the world does. - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback OR screenshot this Episode, post it to your Instagram Story tagging @MikeSquires & @PurposeintheYouth!  - Connect with Mike!

We'll talk with her mom about "April Is For Ana," a month-long program of activities showcasing the Ana Grace Project and its "Love Wins" initiative.

And we'll wrap up chatting with the very first mental health counselor with the CT Community College system, who is introducing "Fresh Check Day" at Norwalk Community College as a means of preventing suicide, and breaking down stigmas against students with mental health concerns.

This morning on the award-winning For the People, host John Voket replays a segment with the founder of The Pantry - a student food pantry at Norwalk Community College; checks in with Starling Physicians to learn how participation in Medicare Services nationwide oncology care model will benefit cancer patients across the nation; and we'll circle back to hear about some of the important points and key takeaways from last month's the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corp's conference in Hartford.
