Students will feel empowered to tell their stories through podcasting and further develop their storytelling skills. Students will self-reflect after every meeting and complete written surveys at the end. An evaluation committee will observe degree of student self-reliance, storytelling skills, and initiative. 2: Through the StoryArk Network, the audience will gain awareness of narratives otherwise not heard and feel empathy towards the experience of others.
