Abstract
As part of the first-year seminar, University Studies 101B, Multicultural Vision Program (MVP) scholars spend the semester exploring various strategies for academic success and engaging in dialogue about self-discovery. The final assignment for the course is the creation of a video podcast in which the scholars utilize storytelling to reflect on how their social identities and the MVP Scholarship have impacted their Iowa State University experiences. This presentation will be a recreation of this podcast assignment; five MVP Scholars will be recording a live podcast, facilitated by the MVP Graduate Instructors, focused on their experience as a first-year student at Iowa State University as part of the ISCORE presentation. Participants will have the opportunity at the end of the podcast to engage in a Q&A with the MVP Scholars at the end of the presentation.
