Ashley Neybert: Making History for the Blind

3/13/2022
In a special Women's History Month edition, we talk with a recent Rockhurst graduate, Ashley Neybert, who overcame some unimaginable challenges to transfer to Rockhurst and get her degree. As you’ll hear, while at another school she got the call one night that her family was in a serious car accident and was being life-flighted to a hospital. Ashley had to move with her family from Colorado to Kansas City to help them recover, but there was another challenge… Ashley was going legally blind. She chose to help her family and continue to pursue her degree in chemistry despite not being able to see. She talks about how Rockhurst professors worked closely with her to help her finish her degree, and she even went on to get a master’s. Today, Ashley helps create accessible curriculum for schools and invents practical learning activities for blind and visually impaired students. She has some great stories of the things she gets to do – and how she’s a mentor to many young blind students. She’s truly making history, and we couldn’t be prouder to say she’s a Rockhurst graduate.

Students Respond After Racist Attack

2/21/2022
"What will you do when no one is watching?" On February 3, a group of individuals tried to hijack a Rockhurst Black Student Union virtual event celebrating Black History Month. The call featured local Black business owners and was just getting started when the invaders started hurling racial epithets and derogatory statements, as well as displaying extremely inappropriate images of children. The virtual event was quickly terminated. Local and federal investigations have been launched to find the offenders. Longtime RockCast host Bri’Yana serves as BSU president and was on the call. She has invited to the podcast two additional BSU members who were on the call, as well as staff sponsor Alicia Douglas, to join her, Daniel, and Sydney to talk about what happened, the emotion everyone felt when it occurred, and what happened next. The group also talks about the difficult conversations that followed with friends and family members from older generations, as well as what has to happen moving forward to inspire change faster. They have several challenges for their fellow students at RU, as well as those on campuses across the United States.

In a special edition of the RockCast, we talk with Rockhurst senior Beatrice Chambo.

She transferred to Rockhurst two years ago and has been working with Catholic Charities, helping refugees settle in the Kansas City area and across the country. She talks about her work with refugees, how she ended up at Rockhurst, and how she met her husband – also from Tanzania – in Kansas City.
