S2 E2 Dr. Felipe Henao: Cultivating a Culture of Care

In this episode of Teaching So Everyone Can Learn, I speak with Dean of Students, Felipe Henao, M.A., Ed.D., about the importance of cultivating a culture of care through meaningful connections with students and how this work directly supports student success.

A central theme of the conversation with Dr. Henao is the idea that a culture of care does not emerge by accident. It is intentionally cultivated through everyday practices and institutional commitment. Dr. Henao emphasized the importance of weaving care into the fabric of New York Tech, approaching this work as a shared responsibility across roles and contexts.
