She is also a guide at Greenfields Academy & we are so grateful to have her!\n\nVero saw a lot of challenges around access to higher education during her time in a large, public R1 higher educational institution. As an Architectural Historian, she explains how she sees creating spaces within education in both a classroom & a more habitat context.\n\nIn this episode, we take a deeper look at the purpose of higher education & earning a bachelor's degree is challenged in certain populations & geographical areas through the population -what Vero shares in some current research she is working on publishing and to give us a fresh perspective of the true value of higher education for some people.\n\nIf you are interested in joining the movement as a student at our school, please visit greenfieldsacademy.com/\n\n\nThanks for listening!
