The Bridge: Repairing cross-faculty communication channels by breaking down interfaculty stereotypes

The Bridge is a podcast testing the hypothesis that cross-faculty communication channels are restrained by the process of interfaculty stereotyping. The goal is to uncover the root cause of the stereotyping and to deconstruct those that are false and the most detrimental to interfaculty relationship building. We believe that a certain level ofpermeability across faculties is important to students and their professional careers to cultivate well-rounded individuals who understand how the puzzle pieces fit together. In our current university infrastructure, there is an echo chamber effect experienced by the average student through hyper specialization limited by administrative restraints, physical separation and a lack of incentive to seek individuals of other faculties. We will tackle one industry per episode featuring a current student and an experienced professional to compare and contrast various expectations of the field including, but not limited to, work culture, dress code, definition of success etc.
