Student University-Auburn University's Student Presentation Series

On March 18th, Ashley Edwards, a senior majoring in social work, presented on prisoners' struggle to become self-suficient after being released into society. Ashley shared the case study of a man she currently works with through her internship with the Equal Justice Initiative. Though Mr. Martin, as she called this man, was convicted of r**e at fifteen years old and spent twenty years in prison, he did not commit the crime and was later exonerated. The Q & A on Alabama's prison system was lively, and discussion continued past the hour. Keep up the good work Ashley!
For more information on the Equal Justice Initiative, visit their website at www.eji.org.

Here's a reminder that tomorrow night is our March presentation! The event is on the Honors Forum Calendar, for those of you in the class.

On March18th at 7 P.M. in the Student Center 2223 Ashley Edwards, a senior in social work, will speak about the difficulty of transitioning from prison back into society. She will follow the case of a man who spent twenty years in prison and is now receiving help from the Social Justice Initiative, where she is an intern this semester.
