Thursday May 8, 2025 10:10am - 11:10am PDT

This presentation will explore the trauma and systemic barriers faced by currently and formerly incarcerated students as they reenter society.

Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to hear directly from a formerly incarcerated
student who will share their personal journey—from pursuing education while incarcerated to reintegrating into society and continuing their academic path through the Rising Scholars Program at the community college level and the Project Rebound Program within the California State University system.
