Providing a Path to Higher Ed for the Formerly Incarcerated

This week, "At the Edge of It All" was joined by Austin Galy and Janelle Brown-Peters, co-founders of USD's Torero Urban Scholars. "We are all greater than the sum of our worst decisions," Galy told us, as the two explained the program which aims to improve access to higher education for people who were formerly incarcerated or have been impacted by the justice system. They talked about why the program's mission is personal for them, some of the obstacles their students face, and the duo's advice for those students or people in their shoes.
