Hometown Holler x Dr. Connie Book

In this Halloween special, Daniel Ayers & Quinn Ray sit down with Dr. Connie Book, President of Elon University, for a conversation about what’s really happening on our college campuses — and why it matters to all of us. Dr. Book talks about leading a university in a time when free speech, protest, and belonging are under the microscope. We dig into what it means to disagree without dehumanizing, how to keep classrooms open to every viewpoint, and what “Gen Z” can teach us about courage and curiosity.
