The Syllabus Doesn’t Say This

from The Butterfly Effect Hosted by CSUN USU DREAM Center

In this episode of The Butterfly Effect Podcast, we explore what the syllabus doesn’t cover, the unspoken rules of higher education that many students are expected to navigate without guidance. We discuss the idea that “you’re supposed to just know this,” how notions of “professionalism” can shape belonging and opportunity, and the pressures around silence and code-switching in academic spaces. Tap in for a real conversation about how these hidden expectations within higher education can influence access, confidence, and success. Share below what unspoken rules in higher education you have learned along the way.
