It has never been more important for educators and other professionals engaged in the field of education to be globally conscious and equipped to instill global competency in their own students. Through engagement with international students, institutional partnerships, on-campus international programming, study abroad opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students, and research with visiting scholars, we prepare globally conscious citizens, teachers, administrators, researchers, and policymakers who are ready to confront the global challenges and embrace the worldwide possibilities of our time.

Gain a deeper understanding of the complex systems and structural barriers that impact successful reentry after incarceration. Students, educators, service providers, employers, and community members are all welcome.
This interactive learning experience explores the systems, policies, and institutions that shape the reentry process following incarceration. Through a guided simulation and facilitated discussion, participants will examine how multiple systems including housing, employment, education, healthcare, transportation, supervision, and identification requirements—can intersect to create challenges during the first 90 days after release.
The Reentry Simulation is not intended to replicate or represent any one person's lived experience. Rather, it is designed to encourage thoughtful dialogue about the structural barriers that influence successful reentry and to inspire participants to consider how they, their organizations, and their communities can help create more equitable pathways forward.
