There is currently a facility-wide outbreak at WCCW. Most units are in quarantine and programming has stopped. We are postponing the start of our term until Feb., when we will re-evaluate depending on conditions in the prison. Our hearts are with our students and everyone at WCCW

We had so much fun working with one of our students, Dalonda, to get ready to start classes at Tacoma Community College this quarter. We explored campus, set up her computer and met up with TCC & FEPPS English Professor Blaine Hunt. Thanks to everyone at TCC for your support!

Students Alyssa and Felicia, and Faculty Director Tanya had an awesome time at the National Conference on Higher Education in Prison in Denver. Alyssa and Felicia have both participated in NCHEP remotely in past years; it was so special for them to be able to attend in person!
