The Confident Undergrad (Formerly Ten Minutes Before Class)
My goal is to support college undergraduates as they develop the skills they need to navigate school and beyond. I'm Dr. Jennifer Diascro, college professor and coach. For 30 years, I've worked with prospective, current, and graduating college students as they've experienced the opportunities and challenges of campus life. In this podcast I address the many issues faced by first year and graduating students alike, providing insight and advice to help them acquire the confidence and agency they need to make the best decisions they can for themselves.
Note: the first 20 or so episodes were published during COVID when I was teaching remotely and missing the time spent chatting with students right before class. I've kept them here in case there's interest.

In the last several days, I've read and listened to a few sources of wonderful information about Justice Ginsburg and her legacy. I encourage you to check them out, and to let me know what sources you've used to learn more about her.
- Totenberg, Nina. "A 5-Decade-Long Friendship That Began with a Phone Call," NPR.
- Lithwick, Dahlia. "RBG's Prophetic Warning on Roe v. Wade Went Ignored."Slate.
- Talking Feds Podcast. "Before She Was Notorious: Clerking For Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
- Gresko, Jessica. "A Rapper, An Elevator, and An Elephant: Stories Ginsburg Told." AP.
Earlier this summer, Dahlia Lithwick produced a two-part series on Justice Ginsburg's life and an interview with the Justice herself, on the Slate podcast, Amicus.
