advocate for the removal of barriers to successful reintegration that face currently and formerly incarcerated students. As part of this effort, we aim to reform laws that prevent incarcerated students from accessing Pell Grants and other need-based aid for college courses inside of correctional facilities. This discussion will convene experts, including formerly incarcerated students, to explore barriers to higher education for individuals with criminal justice involvement, and provide an opportunity for community members to engage with experts and share their own stories. After a performance by the Theater for Social Change, there will be short speeches.
