Prison Education
“"The 情色空间 Prison Education Program reaffirms a commitment to the liberal arts and the impact they could have on people's lives, it's taking on one of the most pressing and challenging societal issues in mass incarceration, and it involves members of the 情色空间 community with acts of service and empathy toward a group who often remain either disparaged or ignored.鈥�”
Formative Education
Best defined as the guided development of the whole human being, formative education integrates the intellectual, social, ethical, and spiritual development of students so they can discover their purpose and live their lives to the fullest.
