She describes the College as β€œa gift of four years where I could focus on myself and my friendships and my academic interests. … So by the time that I was out in the β€˜real world,’ I was already fully formed, and I wasn't going to change because of patriarchy.”

She describes the College as β€œa gift of four years where I could focus on myself and my friendships and my academic interests. … So by the time that I was out in the β€˜real world,’ I was already fully formed, and I wasn't going to change because of patriarchy.”

A year out of college, Molly Seavy-Nesper ’12 was living back home and, by her own admission, feeling β€œvery lost.”

Radioβ€”and in particular Fresh Air and its host Terry Grossβ€”was a lifeline. β€œWhen I was miserable in Massachusetts, working in retail and restaurants, I listened to Fresh Air in the car,” she says, β€œand I remember those interviews.

Back then, she couldn’t have imagined that, within the year, she’d land a Fresh Air internship. Or that the internship would lead to β€œthe best job I could have in my field.”

A French and Cities double major at ½ρΘΥ³ΤΉΟ, Seavy-Nesper today works as associate producer of digital media for Fresh Air. In that role, she’s the person responsible for managing the program’s digital presenceβ€”building webpages, running social media, and handling the podcast.
