Tuesday, March 30, 2021 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM EDT

 In fall 2021, Towson University’s Fair Chance Higher Education Committee will begin its work to make TU a supportive campus for justice-impacted people and to build a credit-bearing, prison-based higher education program. We're excited to be part of a growing national movement aimed at expanding higher educational opportunities for those who are, or have been, incarcerated. There are roles for all campus stakeholders, including students, staff, and faculty, to play in this important work. We cordially invite all members of our campus community to be a part of the conversation. Please join us for our upcoming webinar featuring program staff and students from existing college reentry programs.
