Prison education panel discussion

Faculty, staff and students are invited to the panel discussion by the Bard Prison Initiative and the Augustana Prison Education Program via Zoom. 

January term classes will be held on an abbreviated schedule. Courses will meet for 90 minutes, either from 8:30-10 a.m. or from 2:30-4 p.m.

The documentary, "College Behind Bars" will be shown throughout the day in the You Belong Here Lounge, Gerber Center, fourth floor.

The panel is part one of Augustana College's annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., events. The theme — "Redemption: Carrying on MLK’s Vision of the Beloved Community" — and the day's programs reflect Dr. King's call to bring people together, bridge equity gaps and provide hope and opportunities for social change. 

A community program will be held at 6:30 p.m. today via Zoom.
