Ep. 151: Voices of Student Success: Navigating Students’ Digital Addictions
How can easy digital access create harmful habits, and what is higher education’s role in teaching preventive wellness?
A recently launched college bridge program improves college readiness for students enrolled in higher education programs in prison.
In July 2023, Congress lifted a ban on federal Pell Grant funding for incarcerated individuals in prison education programs, but there still remain barriers to enrollment and success for these learners. The Petey Greene Program (PGP), a non-profit organization that partners with prisons and higher education institutions, launched a College Bridge program in 2020 to increase college-level writing, reading and math skills for incarcerated students.
In this episode, PGP’s Chiara Benetollo, executive director of The Puttkammer Center for Educational Justice and Equity, and Katherine Meloney, director of the Villanova Program at SCI Phoenix, discuss the college bridge program and the ways higher ed can support justice and learning for incarcerated individuals.
