Engagement Interrupted
Engagement, Interrupted launched in Spring of 2020, during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. This 10-part series features Appalachian State students who are involved with the Department of Student Engagement and Leadership, and stories of where they were when they learned of extended Spring Break, and how they were coping, surviving, and thriving while their classes, their jobs, their lives, and their connection to the Appalachian community were interrupted. Each podcast is a several minute journey into the experience of one featured student. You can listen to all of them here, or access on GooglePlay, Itunes, or Spotify.
