Higher Education Programs and SC Prisons

The Emeritus College Task Force on Higher Education and SC Prisons invites you to a one-day symposium featuring leaders from across the state.  We hope you will join us to learn more about the specific programs at their institutions and to explore ways in which emeritus faculty might support their efforts to improve outcomes for incarcerated persons who are enrolled in higher education courses and programs.  RSVP is requested (emerituscollege@clemson.edu) (Lunch is available for $20 or you may bring your own lunch; drinks will be provided).  If you would like to participate by Zoom, please request a Zoom link in your RSVP.
