CIV 110: Storytelling and Change

For this project, first-year students were assigned to create a podcast showcasing “Untold Narratives” where they share the story of a person who they thought deserved more recognition than the world typically provides them. This pair identified a female career and fifth-generation Navy sailor who serves as a Corpsman, naval medical personnel. Their podcast work taught them a lesson in flexibility as the story ended up going a much different direction than they initially assumed, with the final story about family, love, and tradition being more impactful and touching than they ever imagined.
