ICYMI: April UPAN Meeting Recording Now Available! Did you miss our April 14th UPAN Monthly Meeting with Dr. Samuel Arungwa, PhD? You can now watch the full recording and catch up on this inspiring conversation about bringing no-cost college education to Utah’s jails! Dr. Sam shared updates on his groundbreaking Postsecondary Correctional Education (PSCE) model—now expanding from San Juan to Juab County Jail with Snow College. We discussed how “surplus” resources already exist in our communities to make higher ed possible behind bars, and learned about the national IGNITE® model and its research-backed results: lower recidivism, improved literacy, and stronger community trust.
🎓 Topics covered:
• The surplus-based PSCE model in action
• Juab County Jail + Snow College pilot highlights
• The movement for educational justice in Utah jails
• Harvard/Brown IGNITE research
• Q&A with families and advocates
Thank you to everyone who participated, and a special thanks to Dr. Sam for his unwavering commitment to second chances and real change.
