Episode 20: Catching Up With Jeff Mitz

About this episode

This episode features an unedited interview between Robbie Mitchnick and Jeff Mitz, reflecting on Mitz's experiences as a guidance counselor.

You might be familiar with Catching Up With , a regular feature in Past & Present , Crescent’s alumni magazine. It’s where one of our grads sits down with a retired teacher to reminisce, reflect, and share stories. These chats are always full of great moments, even if we only have space for a short article in the magazine. On this episode, we’re sharing the unedited interview between Robbie Mitchnick, Class of ’09, and longtime Crescent staff member, Jeff Mitz, who was Head of Guidance from 2000 to 2012. The recording wasn’t done in a studio, so the audio’s a little raw, but we think that adds to its charm.  We hope you enjoy this special edition of Coyote Conversations . This episode is hosted by Robbie Mitchnick, Class of ’09. Coyote Conversations is made possible by Carson McGregor, Communication Technology Faculty and the Crescent Alumni Executive.  Music by Matt Large. Hosted on Acast.
