The Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP) — Creating Campus Climates for Prison to College Pathways

Timeline

2023

Summary

This creative arts project aims to inform campus communities about the realities and facts of mass incarceration, how it currently affects many of our students’ lives, and the steps we can take as students, teachers and staff to create new spaces of learning and work to encourage those impacted by the criminal justice system to find success at Ohio State. This will be accomplished through creating and disseminating a range of media and informatics to impact campus cultures and illustrate the benefits of welcoming those impacted by the justice system to our communities of learning.
