This conversation brings two UBalt students together to share their experiences navigating higher education as non-traditional students. From balancing work and family responsibilities to finding support for neurodivergence and mental health, they reflect on what makes UBalt a uniquely supportive place for students forging their own paths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As UBalt celebrates its centennial, conversations about the university\u2019s future are happening across campus. What will the next 100 years look like? How can UBalt continue to evolve? One student in this episode offers a clear perspective:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">&#8220;Honestly, UBalt isn\u2019t a \u2018normal\u2019 university\u2014and that\u2019s a good thing. We should lean into that. We have 5:30-8:00 classes, we have students who are parents, students who are returning after years away&#8230; that\u2019s what makes this place different.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Their discussion highlights accessibility, the power of community, and the value of a university that truly understands its students.\u00a0UBalt\u2019s\u00a0strength has always been its ability to meet students where they are, and as we look ahead to the university\u2019s next chapter, these perspectives are more relevant than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\ud83c\udfa7\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/creators.spotify.com\/pod\/show\/celtt-ubalt\/episodes\/Episode-5-Fitting-College-Into-Life-e2v0te5\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Click here to listen to the latest episode<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, we\u2019re looking ahead to our next episode, and we\u2019d love to feature faculty voices!
