This session is designed for anyone involved in supporting students who are incarcerated, such as advisors who anticipate working directly with these students, campus-advisors who are in institutions involved with prison education, faculty, and prison education program coordinators. During this webinar, now available on demand, attendees will gain practical knowledge and tools to enhance their advising practices, ensuring they effectively support students in navigating educational opportunities and overcoming barriers within the carceral environment.
