Hey I’m Pat Perdue and I want to introduce you to my latest podcast.  This one is a co-production between my company, YCASTR, and Seneca College, in Toronto. 

Seneca College is a really great school.  I know, because over the past couple of years I’ve been teaching some marketing and customer service courses there.  People come to study at Seneca from all over the world which makes it a hotbed of innovative thinking.  And a big part of that thinking is driven by our amazing faculty, many of whom are, well, like me, professionals who are thriving in their own businesses, and teach at Seneca as a way to share their passion for what they do.  Needless to say I’ve been hugely inspired by the people I’ve met.

 And what happens when I get inspired?  Well, apparently I launch a podcast.  So, here we are!  Welcome to #SenecaProud!  Where I get to introduce YOU to some of Seneca College’s amazing faculty. 

So subscribe, download, and join me, as we meet some of the super inspiring folks who teach here at Seneca College, in Toronto.      

I’m Pat Perdue, and I’m glad you’re here today.

About Today's Show

In today's episode, we speak with the co-ordinator of the Seneca College Veterinary Technicians Program, Kirsti Clarida.

While so many of our students are studying remotely during the pandemic, others need to come to class to fulfill the requirements of their programs.  The Veterinary Technicians Program is one such program.  But how can students, and their faculty, to come to campus and keep everyone safe?  Our guest has the answer.

Also in this episode, we talk about:

1.  The role technology played in helping deliver the essentials of the program, in addition to the in-person component.

2.  How innovations to the program, as a result of the pandemic, actually enhanced the experience of the students.

3.  Hank!  (Kirsti's dog!)
