Welcome to 1861, the North Central College Podcast
With countless great stories across the North Central College campus and the wider Cardinal community, we’ve created a new way to share them.
Join us on this journey. Let’s see where it leads. A liberal arts education is about examining diverse perspectives, asking questions, and engaging in dialogue, so we’ll aim to have conversations that will get you thinking — inspire and challenge you. Maybe even smile ... or laugh.
Whether you are a current or prospective student, faculty or staff member, alum, friend or fan, we hope you enjoy a bird’s-eye view of what makes North Central College special.
Two years after suffering a cardiac arrest, North Central College women's track & field student-athlete Alivia Henkel stood atop the podium as an NCAA Division III national champion. In this episode, Henkel shares the story of her extraordinary comeback and the positivity, faith and support from her loved ones that carried her forward. Rather than allowing her experience to define her, Henkel used it to inspire her future as she pursues a degree on the pre-med track at North Central – all while training and competing at the highest level of her sport.
