In this episode, Annie speaks with Dillon Alexander Methven Cathro (he/him), a university program manager who supports BIPOC and other socioeconomically marginalized student populations. The only child of a single mother, and the product of a community-based approach to child-raising, Dillon has a passion for helping students access academic, professional, and social resources, in order to foster a wraparound approach to wellness and success. Dillon and Annie also discuss reframing identity when living abroad as well as drawing parallels between the refugee crisis in Europe and the situation of migrants in the U.S.
