Mission statement: This year the 4th Annual Reimagining Reintegration is not only going to reflect back on the origins of how RR came into existence, our program will highlight and has for years coined the very model, a trifecta if you will, of "Higher Education, Reentry, and Workforce," as the keys to unlocking the doors of opportunity for our most marginlized and vunerable populations. We also recognize that through this trifecta of change how we as a society can utilize this macro weapon of sorts as a way to shift and disrupt systems of harm. Changing not only how we operate in politics, but reshape how campuses across our state communicate, developing a new wave of social development, not based within an email, text, like, heart, or repost; it's taking the time to consider walking across the street, or driving across a bridge, and learning that we as a society can shift how we see or envision social engagement using freedom, opportunity, and the mindset of effectuating systems change as the catalyst to disrupting systems of harm.
