CSUSB student Luis Trujillo was one of only six formerly incarcerated students nationwide selected to participate in a prestigious research residency at Yale University. Trujillo’s story highlights the transformative power of higher education, re-entry support programs, and mentorship in students’ lives.
Danny Murillo, who is featured in the film and is a co-founder of the Underground Scholars at Berkeley, will also be on hand to discuss the documentary, which follows a group of students at UC Berkeley who face significant challenges as formerly incarcerated and system-impacted individuals pursuing higher education.
Cal State San Bernardino’s Project Rebound will host the Supporting Successful Reentry Conference on Wednesday, April 16. In partnership with UC Riverside, Riverside City College, College of the Desert and other community organizations, the conference will bring together educators, practitioners, system-impacted scholars, policymakers and community leaders to examine the connection between higher education and reentry in the San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Driven by a desire for change, Annika Anderson, associate professor and the executive director of Project Rebound, channels her personal connection to the criminal justice system – shaped by her family members’ transitions out of correctional facilities – into her teaching and leadership. She integrates service, research and education to challenge the stigma surrounding formerly incarcerated individuals and create pathways for change.
The CSU’s Project Rebound, which includes the program at CSUSB, was honored by the American Society of Criminology with The President’s Award for Distinguished Contributions to Justice.
