Today I attended the latest Rose Buzz episode featuring Jason Hungerford and Sean Nicholson.  I really enjoyed hearing them talk about their lives and careers and give advice, as it’s always great to meet and learn about new people in the Rose House community through Rose Buzz!  I was really fascinated by the interesting work that both the speakers do.  For example, it was really inspiring to hear from Jason Hungerford about his volunteer work with the Cancer Resource Center and with LGBTQ activism in Ithaca.  I found it interesting that he said he gets more satisfaction out of his volunteer work than his paid job, which is something that I can see myself relating to.  I also really loved when he talked about the community in Ithaca and why he chose to move here.  It was moving to hear how much he values how people and the government in Ithaca are accepting of others and fighting for equality, especially for the LGBTQ community.  I agree that it can be easy to forget that the rest of the country isn’t like Ithaca in that way.  I also enjoyed hearing from Professor Sean Nicholson, especially about how he enjoys teaching and his experience with teaching in high schools compared to at a college level.  As always, it’s reassuring to find professors at Cornell that really have a passion for teaching and not just research.  Overall, this was a really interesting Rose Buzz episode!
