From the episode:
"I think it's been important what Mt SAC has been doing, and also, I think PCC [Pasadena City College], has been doing that piece as well, is having student voices is so important to that HSI aspect. Because, how are you gonna…you can do all this research and you can, you know, Gina, you've been doing so much research on what an HSI is, and what it encompasses, and so much work on it, but also like there's that student voice missing as well like, we have to know what the students need, what the student wants, and where else can you get it if it's not from the students, right?"
