  • Episode 6: Witness the Fitness in 2023
    Dec 20 2022

    We're a few days shy of wrapping up 2022, so we felt we'd start 2023 off the way several of us do: chatting resolutions, plans, and goals, and oftentimes fitness falls into that "New Year's Resolutions" category. "The body doesn't know what day it is," shares Brandon Fox, Coordinator of Health and Fitness/Athletic Trainer. Whether you start January 1 or April 1, the goal is to get moving, and get "doing something." We break down different ways that anyone can get started toward taking better care of themselves. We also touch on the importance of mental health and how big of a part that plays in overall health and fitness, which presents an opportunity to remind our listeners Sandburg offers TimelyCare which is free 24/7 telehealth services available to students and employees - learn more at TimelyCare.com/Sandburg.

  • Episode 2: An Update with the Hispanic Latino Student Association, and Paying Tribute to the Boxcar People
    Oct 7 2022

    On this episode, we visit with Jenny Felix, Gigi Ayala, and Jesus Tovar, all current members or advisors to the Hispanic-Latino Student Association. Members of HLSA discuss activities during #HispanicHeritageMonth which runs from September 15 through October 15, but say while the calendar celebration may be coming to an end, the celebration can and should continue 24/7. We also pay homage to the "Boxcar People," which (via WTVP.org) "Boxcar People tells the story of Mexican workers recruited in the early 1900s to work the railroads in Galesburg, Illinois. It is a truly inspiring tale of immigrants rising up against all odds in a rarely heard story of how the Midwest’s Mexican population helped build this country but still struggle for acceptance and civil rights." These individuals and families were also acknowledged during the October 3, 2022, Galesburg City Council meeting where a proclamation was read celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. An excerpt from that reading is also included in this episode.
