IONA LIVE Interview with Student Leaders by Ralph Barba

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings speak with Khalique Rogers and Samia Mohamud about growing concerns over proposed changes to Minnesota's Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program. They explain how the program provides free college credit to high school students while saving families and taxpayers millions, and why new restrictions could limit access, especially for first-generation and low-income students. Samia shares her firsthand experience as a student advocate, testifying at the state level and pushing for equitable access to education opportunities. The conversation also highlights a broader coalition effort calling for transparency, enforcement of existing laws, and a pause on changes until a full review is completed.

Today, we're joined by Lauren Abraham, a leader helping guide the national Student to Student Program of the Newark Institute, as well as two student participants of the program: Yehudah Greenberg and Ayden Nelson. Through this program, Yehudah and Ayden are boldly stepping into conversations that many adults shy away from and sharing stories, traditions, and lived experiences in an effort to replace stereotypes with understanding. Together, they are proving that real change begins face to face. In our time together, Lauren, Yehudah, and Ayden share how courage grows when you choose visibility over fear and how education becomes transformational when it's personal.  Yehudah speaks about living out his Orthodox Jewish faith openly, even after experiencing antisemitism, and why he refuses to let fear define him.  Ayden reflects on growing up in a split-faith household and how her unique perspective allows her to connect with classmates across differences.  My friends, if you've been wondering whether empathy still stands a chance in today's world, this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that change rarely comes from shouting louder; it comes from listening better. And you'll be inspired by young leaders choosing courage over comfort…maybe even prompting you to start a meaningful conversation of your own.

Arising from the McGrath Institute for Church Life, the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellowship forms Notre Dame students as leaders in the study and spirituality of the saints. We launched this fellowship in 2025 with an inaugural cohort of 12 students selected from a pool of many, many applicants. As part of their fellowship, our saints fellows completed a course this past semester (with yours truly) on praying with the saints. Next year they will become leaders of other undergraduate students, as they form groups of students who pray together and serve together in a manner common to a saint each fellow selects. But in between the course they complete and the year of leadership they undertake, the whole cohort of 12 fellows, along with me and a chaplain, make a pilgrimage to immerse ourselves in the cultures that gave rise to particular saints––cultures which, in turn, these saints renewed and enriched. This year's pilgrimage was to France, specifically: Paris, Chartres, Lisieux, LeMans, Tours, and Lourdes. Today, two of our Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellows join me to talk about the meaning and significance of this pilgrimage with the saints. Macy Vance is a rising junior and Kate Apelian is a rising senior at Notre Dame, but really I should let them introduce themselves.Follow-up Resources:Learn more about the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints FellowshipCheck out the wildly popular “Saturdays with the Saints” lecture series“Pilgrimage and the Urgent Question of Faith,” by Leonard J.

My abridged version: Harvard graduate and Jewish student leader, Shabbos Kestenbaum, discussed today's war against campus antisemitism at America's leading universities, citing Columbia and Harvard as being ground zero for Palestinianist-inspired antisemitism. The battle goes beyond Hamas students threatening and harassing Jewish students as the faculties themselves are filled with antisemitic professors and instructors. Now, with the Trump Administration taking tough measures against these institutions, including withholding hundreds of millions of dollars, as they recently did to Columbia, and the arresting for deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Hamas "student" agitator from Columbia, Kestenbaum believes that the universities will only take token measures to try to slip by Trump's new policy. Even now, by willing to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, there will still be wiggle room for these universities to get around expelling students who violate the civil rights of Jewish students. Shabbos discussed his own suit against Harvard, choosing to pursue legal action in court rather than settle out of court as some of his peers did. During the interview we talked about the challenges that Jewish students face as they are vastly outnumbered and out-funded by the pro-Hamas student and faculty activists.
