Last week, University Settlement CEO Melissa Aase sat down with Nina Del Rio on the Get Connected podcast on 106.7 Lite FM for a wide-ranging conversation about University Settlement’s 140 year history, the role of the arts in our work, the impacts of federal cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid, and our recent recognition as one of Newsweek’s Greatest Midsize Workplaces.

Nina and Melissa last spoke on the podcast 10 years ago, making this a special opportunity to reflect on how much about our work has changed and what has stayed the same. As Melissa says in the episode, “University Settlement’s core skill is to evolve with the changes in our communities” – an idea that’s guided us for 140 years.
