Are You Making These Mistakes About Inclusivity on Campus?

In this episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke welcomes back inclusivity consultant Pete Quinn for an honest and practical conversation about kindness, curiosity, and the challenges of creating inclusive spaces in today’s polarized world.

Pete shares how small acts of kindness from his professors shaped his career, why “clunky” responses are part of the learning process, and why cancel culture is preventing us from having the productive disagreements that students need. He also offers practical steps for making campus spaces more welcoming for neurodiverse students and for anyone navigating university life.

You’ll hear:

• Why kindness is a leadership tool, not just a personality trait
• The difference between clunky vs. confident responses in difficult conversations
• How cancel culture is changing the way students connect
• Simple design changes that make campuses more inclusive
• Three powerful pieces of advice for every student

Whether you’re a student, educator, or just passionate about inclusivity, this episode will give you practical strategies and a hopeful perspective on how to create a campus where everyone can thrive.
