Spring 2018 Newsletter

Welcome From Our Director

Hello, and welcome to the inaugural newsletter of the University of Utah Prison Education Project. This newsletter details some of the progress we have made so far and shares many our future plans. In our newsletters, you can hear directly from UPEP students, professors, and volunteers.

UPEP grew out of the 2016-2017 Honors Praxis Lab, Education, Incarceration, and Justice. The creation of UPEP is the result of much collaboration, and this collaboration is ongoing. We worked in partnership with prominent college-in-prison programs across the country to build the infrastructure for the Project and have designed UPEP in accordance with best practices established by the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison, a coalition of quality college-in-prison programs.
