Last week, we had a wonderful training with our University of Virginia School of Law students and Professor Kelly Elizabeth Orians. The session with our Program Manager, Jessica Smith, and Executive Director, Tierney Fairchild, PhD, involved reviewing current case topics, mapping out the teaching preparation timeline, and role-playing teaching scenarios as we continue to develop our Business Law for Reentry curriculum into a full semester’s course. Thank you to the JD students: Malia Takei, Trey Gray, Carter Farnsworth, Kyndall Walker, Mallory Garner, Kirk W., Kelly Scrivner, Hayley Richbart, Philip Hedden, Louisa Auerbach, and Aviaé Gibson. We’re also grateful to The Jefferson Trust for funding this initiative. We look forward to doing more of this over the coming weeks. #BusinessLaw #ReentryProgram #HigherEducationInPrison #UVALaw #ResilienceEducation

Happy International Women’s Day! On this day, we’re thinking about all women, particularly those incarcerated in facilities like Fluvanna, where MBA students teach our business education programs. Did you know the Prison Policy Initiative reported that there are at least 190,600 women and girls incarcerated in the United States? As we grow our programs at Resilience, we want to reach these women in different facilities beyond the state of Virginia. Women everywhere deserve equal opportunities to gain the confidence and social capital needed to navigate the workplace or explore business ideas. We welcome your financial support to keep doing this work. Learn more about what we do and contribute here: https://lnkd.in/eiNZ3KYk #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #IncarceratedWomen #Justice #EducationForAll
