Second Chance Month with the Prison Education Partnership

Please join UMA’s Prison Education Partnership staff and students for lunch and a discussion on supporting justice-impacted learners through higher education starting at 11:30 am on Wednesday, April 22, in the Randall Student Center’s Fireside Lounge or online via Zoom.

Grounded in UMA’s commitment to access and student success, this conversation will explore how PEP creates pathways to opportunity for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students. Attendees will hear about the program’s impact, the challenges students navigate, and the strategies that support their success—from community partnerships and mentorship networks to ongoing collaboration with the Maine Department of Corrections.

This event offers an opportunity to connect with students and staff, ask questions, and better understand the role education plays in supporting reentry, strengthening Maine’s workforce, and building more resilient communities.

All are welcome to attend and participate in the conversation.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP here by April 14 to attend in person to ensure an accurate catering order.

A remote option via Zoom will also be available.
