Stellenbosch University is looking into the launch of a program designed to offer educational opportunities to those behind bars, inspired by other such programs internationally. It envisages providing opportunities for students at Stellenbosch and students who are incarcerated to study higher education courses together.

In attendance will be Prof Baz Dreisinger, who will tell us about her experiences as founder of the Prison-to-College Pipeline program at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice.​

If you are a faculty member (lecturer) or student from any discipline who would like to become involved, or to learn more about this initiative, please come to our meeting:

Time:        13h00
