On Friday, Dr. Cooks was invited to the office of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Department to meet with Executive Director Delrice Adams and her team to talk about best practices working with currently incarcerated people. We discussed the importance of providing access to education as a way of personal healing and leading to opportunities for academic success. As a leader, I am willing to learn from others to benefit the students, faculty, and classified professionals at Chabot College.

It's that season again – Halloween is here! The RISE Program has once transformed our cubicle into the Walking Dead this year, with a carceral twist. Victor, and a few RISE scholars, truly outdid themselves this time. We know we'll win the contest yet again this year.
