Wonderful to see continued coverage of UPEP enrichment programming in the humanities highlighted in this KSL story! We are so grateful for dedicated volunteers like Elliot Morris, who create such meaningful learning opportunities inside.

Wonderful to see Emily Kersten-Warneke's first publication. In addition to research, Emily has been leading efforts with our team to create a "One Stop Shop Student Center" in the women's designated unit at USCF. We're fortunate to have Emily here in SLC!

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Erin Castro! We look forward to celebrating all of this year's Utah Philanthropy Day honorees! ????

It's great to see Elliot Morris's book club featured in this article from Deseret News! This semester, he's leading a reading group focused on Utah authors, with five of them joining the class to share insights into their work.

Thank you to everyone who attended our panel, "Education for All: Higher Education in Prison at the U." It was a pleasure to share our work and engage with so many people eager to get involved. We're excited to continue building this community together! Sylia Olive and Leandra Hernandez, PhD
