“Why Not a Liberal Arts In Prison Program?” George Drake March 30 @ 4pm – McHugh Commons Drake’s presentation is entitled “WHY NOT A LIBERAL ARTS IN PRISON PROGRAM?” Drake will invite discussion in advocacy of education as both prevention of recidivism and fulfillment of civic responsibility in the liberal arts tradition. The Colorado College’s Social Issues and Historical Contexts Initiative—a three-year program of incarceration-related events and research projects extend warm invitation to the Thursday, March 30 lecture, at 4 pm in McHugh Commons featuring GEORGE DRAKE, former Dean of CC, President of Grinnell College, and moving spirit behind Grinnell’s Liberal Arts in Prison Project, will reflect on the robust relationship between a sister college in Iowa and that state’s Department of Corrections, in which offenders in the medium security facility at Newton are able to complete two full years of Grinnell credit during their incarceration.
