Strength in the Embrace of Banyans with Sarah Cooper and Leo Muñoz

The Palm Court Podcast welcomes recent New College of Florida graduates Sarah Cooper and Leo Muñoz. As members of the last "normal" class before the DeSantis takeover, they reflect on New College's academic freedom and close-knit community.  Sarah and Leo fondly recall engaging in late-night debates about coursework, attending Walls in Palm Court, and designing adventurous tutorials tailored to their interests. They also acknowledge the existential threats and rapid changes that clouded their senior year. While the future remains uncertain, Leo and Sarah emphasize the resilience of bonds formed on campus. They believe New College endures through communal remembrance. By sharing memories, all can sustain traditions.  With humor and heart, we share their stories that encapsulate New College's creativity, contrarianism, and care for community. May their perspective uplift hope in a time of adversity. Subscribe to the Palm Court Podcast wherever you get your pods. Now also on Youtube! Visit us at PalmCourtPod.com for more.
