Mission & Impact Statements Mission The mission of the Tennessee Higher Education Initiative is to provide access to on-site degree-bearing higher education for individuals in Tennessee prisons; to support our students in leading meaningful lives in and outside prison; to prepare our students for successful re-entry; and to help our students become contributing members of our communities. Background In the summer of 2010, THEI Founder Dr. Julie Doochin approached the Tennessee Department of Correction and Nashville State Community College about an idea to start a college program at a correctional facility in Nashville, TN. The TDOC and NSCC both supported the idea. In January 2012, Nashville State Community College began offering college courses for credit at Charles B. Bass Correctional Complex for men in Nashville, Tennessee. The program was initially funded by a federal youth offender grant that expired on Dec. 31, 2012. Since that time, the program has been funded through a combination of private and public funds through the Tennessee Higher Education Initiative 501(c)3. In May 2014 the program expanded to a 2nd correctional facility, the Turney Center Industrial Complex in Only, TN. In May 2015, Charles Bass Correctional Complex was closed and many of the college students there were transferred to the Turney Center site to continue college. In January 2017 THEI expanded to the western region of the state with a third college program in partnership with Dyersburg State Community College at Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, TN. Since 2012, over 300 inmates have been enrolled in college through THEI and more than 600 have been served by the organization. Students at the Turney Center are working towards an A.S. degree from Nashville State Community College (NSCC) in Business Administration or Political Science, and students at Northwest are working towards an A.S. in Business Administration from Dyersburg State (DSCC). On-site courses and degrees/certificates are offered by and through our partner colleges, and therefore students are official NSCC and DSCC students. Both sites are accredited by SACS to offer the 41-hour General Education Certificate and Associate of Science Degree common to all TBR colleges and universities. Professors are full-time or adjunct from NSCC and DSCC and adjuncts have emanated from local colleges and universities including Belmont, Lipscomb, MTSU, TSU, Chattanooga State, Vanderbilt and Western Kentucky. Initially the program was based on a cohort model with 25 men moving through the program together, taking 2-3 courses per semester. Starting Fall 2015, some students are full-time taking 4-5 courses per semester. Most students also have full-time jobs on-site at the prison facilities. Credits earned from these courses are recognized and transferable to any Tennessee Board of Regents College or University, as well as certain private and public colleges and universities outside of Tennessee in the Southeastern region (i.e. SACS schools). These courses/credits can be applied towards associate and bachelor degrees at any public college or university in Tennessee. Upon release, THEI encourages and helps formerly incarcerated students continue their academic pursuits on the college campus, and about 30% of those released have done so. In order to be admitted to the program, each applicant must take the standard TN college placement exam, Accuplacer, and place at college level in reading and writing; complete the application, write an essay, pay $25 each semester, keep a clean disciplinary record within TDOC, and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. 2

Impact 16/17 Accomplishments: 1) Met a major completion milestone and held a graduation ceremony for 18 inmate students at the Turney Center who earned 41-Hour General Education Certificates from Nashville State Community College on Jan. 17, 2017. 2) Made college accessible to inmates in the western region of the state in Nov. 2016 by starting a third college in prison program in West Tennessee with Dyersburg State Community College at Northwest Correctional Complex. 3) Hired two additional staff a Program Coordinator (August 2016) and a Support Services Coordinator (December 2016) 4) Successfully lobbied for and piloted first online course behind bars starting with Online Biology I in summer 2016. Since that time, online courses like Accounting I and II, Computer Applications, Economics and Biology I and II have become a regular part of our course offerings, helping our students gain much needed technology skills and experience an alternative form of learning content. 5) Successfully co-hosted the 2016 National Conference on Higher Education in the Prison (NCHEP) with a community partner, Belmont University, in November 2016. 17/18 Goals and Accomplishments To-Date 1) On January 10, 2018 we had our first full graduation ceremony where 22 students earned their Associate's Degrees, the first men to do so in Tennessee since the 1980s! We held a ceremony at Turney Center in Only, Tennessee with the graduates and their families and THEI supporters in attendance. 2) In January 2018 we started a second cohort of 25 Dyersburg State students at our at Northwest Correctional Complex in West Tennessee, making a total of 50 students at that site. 3) We will continue to lay the framework for expanding our reach into the eastern region of the state in the coming semesters. 4) In summer 2018, we will partner with Tennessee State University to begin offering courses to correctional staff at Turney Center Industrial Complex, continuing our commitment to build a college culture at the prison site. Needs THEI is focusing on building our infrastructure and strengthening our programs and service provision. Funding is needed to establish a sustainability plan for the long-term health of the organization in a politically uncertain climate ($100,000), including board development, and fund development infrastructure. THEI is also seeking funding and support for development and implementation of a college prep program, including tutors, materials, curriculum development, and data tracking system. A college prep program on-site at the prison facilities where we operate will better prepare students for college success and persistence, increasing retention and the quality of our service provision. ($60,000). THEI accepts in-kind donations for school supplies, and is always in need of support to cover the everincreasing costs of text books, and classroom materials. We are also seeking volunteers with experience in social media and communications, graphic or website design.

Primary Organization Category Education / Higher Education Secondary Organization Category Public & Societal Benefit / Tertiary Organization Category Public & Societal Benefit / Areas of Service Areas Served TN - Davidson TN - Hickman TN THEI serves two prisons in two regions - Middle and West - of the state. More specifically, we serve Davidson (37209) and Hickman (37140) counties in Middle Tennessee and Lake County (38079) in West Tennessee. Two prisons are Turney Center in Only (56 miles outside Nashville) and Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, TN. The incarcerated students that we serve are from and plan to return to counties across the entire state, making our work state-wide. CEO Statement After more than five years of successful program operations, THEI moved into a new season this year with a new Executive Director and strategic approach. THEI finds itself in a moment for self-awareness, recalibration, and growth. To-date, we have offered high-quality college education to students at three facilities across the state of Tennessee. We have seen our program formalize, becoming SACS accredited and thereby able to offer degree-bearing coursework to our students. We have greatly expanded the number of people we serve due to a fiscal partnership with our Legislature. Our new strategic approach involves prioritizing a focus on quality over quantity, THEI will begin to refine its model, building out all milestones of a student s education continuum. From the moment a potential applicant expresses interest in college to the moment s/he receives her/his college degree, we will work to understand how to provide service at every step. To-date, THEI has focused primarily on the steps of enrollment and matriculation, and we have shown significant achievement in these areas. For our next five years, we challenge ourselves to create structures that focus on all steps, including garnering interest in college, college preparation and readiness programming, more support for students transitioning to the free world, and mentorship opportunities beyond the classroom. This work will include expansion of our staff, our funding streams, and the services we provide. 4

Programs Programs THEI College Program at Turney Center Industrial Complex Description In May 2014 THEI began a 2nd college program in Middle Tennessee at the Turney Center, a medium security prison for men. The program at Turney was modeled after the pilot one at Charles Bass, and shared many of the same elements including being serviced by Nashville State, being degree-bearing, using the cohort model, and integrating technology to support teaching and learning. In May 2015 the program opened to inmates housed at the nearby minimum-security facility, the Turney Center annex and welcomed THEI students from Charles Bass when that facility closed its doors. At present there are 5 cohorts with an enrollment of 92 students, and 8 courses offered (included 2 online). The men work full-time during the day and take 2-4 courses per semester at night and on Saturdays leading towards an AS degree from Nashville State in Business Administration or Political Science. Credits earned from these courses are transferable to any public college or university in TN, as well as many private ones in the Southeast. In order to be admitted to the program, each applicant must take the TN college placement exam and place at college level in reading & writing, complete the application, and write an entrance essay. Once admitted to the program, students must pay $25 per semester, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA and keep a clean disciplinary record. The use of technology to support teaching and learning is emphasized. Students are assigned desk-top computers in a large computer lab and starting summer 201, THEI began offering the first internet courses behind bars in TN. Since then we have offered two courses every semester including Biology, Accounting, Macroeconomics and Computer Applications, so that students are gaining much needed computer skills that will help them be successful in a 21st century economy. Budget 318795 Category Population Served Short Term Success Education, General/Other Postsecondary Education Offenders/Ex-Offenders, At-Risk Populations, Unemployed, Underemployed, Dislocated With an average GPA of 3.47, students in our program earn grades that are notably higher than the average student on the NSCC college campus. Ninety percent will maintain at least a 3.0 GPA while enrolled in the program. Behavior in TDOC prisons is tracked using a system of disciplines, and our data show a positive correlation between a reduction in number and severity of disciplines and participation in the college program. The average number of disciplines at any level will decrease by 50% and the most severe A-level disciplines will decrease by 85% compared to the offenders not enrolled in the college program. Completion/passage rate while incarcerated will be 97% for semester one, 94% semester two, and 92% for all three semesters of the first academic year. 5

Long term Success Program Success Monitored By In the long-term, we expect to see that of our students incarcerated long enough to complete behind bars, 90% will earn the General Education certificate and 80% will earn the AS degree. Of those released prior to completion behind bars, 50% will enroll for campus classes and 25% will complete by earning a certificate or degree. And finally, for those who earn certificate or degree prior to or after release, the recidivism rate will be less than 5%. THEI uses quantitative & qualitative tools to evaluate the efficacy of its college programs. THEI measures and evaluates 1-and 2-year rates of return, the 3-year recidivism rate, GPA, completion, disciplines, credits and attendance. In addition, THEI uses course evaluations, exit interviews and likert-style surveys to evaluate student perceptions, and maintains contact with students post-release to gauge persistence and retention. Examples of Program Success Average GPA is 3.47. 18 inmate students awarded 41-hour general education certificates behind bars Jan. 2017 24 inmate students to be awarded AS degrees; 31 awarded General Education Certificates Jan. 2018 4 graduates post-release including 1 from Belmont (Dec. 2017), TSU (2013), and two AS from NSCC. Out of 75 former program participants (enrolled more than 1 semester in the program) who have been released since 2012, only 2 have returned to prison. 6

THEI College Program at Northwest Industrial Complex Description In November 2016 THEI expanded our reach to West Tennessee when we started a new college program at Northwest Correctional Complex(NWCX), a medium security prison for men in Tiptonville, Tennessee. Our servicing partner at Northwest, Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC), began offering classes to a cohort of 25 students on January 2017. The NWCX program follows the THEI model that was successfully established at 2 prisons in Middle Tennessee - Charles Bass and the Turney Center. The men are organized into a cohort, or learning community, work full-time during the day and take 2-3 courses per semester working towards an A.S. Degree in Business Administration from DSCC. Should a student be released prior to earning his degree, credits earned from these courses are recognized and transferable to any public college or university in TN, as well as many private ones in the Southeastern region. In order to be admitted to the program, each applicant must take the standard TN college placement exam and place at college level in reading and writing; complete the application and write an essay. Once admitted to the program, students must pay $25 fee each semester, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA and keep a clean disciplinary record. Technology is an important piece of the program as it was desired that incarcerated students experience technological equity, to the extent possible, with DSCC campus students. Students are assigned desk-top computers with Microsoft office and other non-internet based software. The prisoners are gaining much needed computer skills (i.e. excel, powerpoint, Microsoft office ), which will help them be successful in a 21st century digital world.

THEI measures and evaluates 1-and 2-year rates of return, the 3-year recidivism rate, GPA, completion, disciplines, credits and attendance. In addition, THEI uses course evaluations, exit interviews and likert-style surveys to evaluate student perceptions, and maintains contact with students post-release to gauge persistence and retention. Average GPA is 3.47 at the Turney Center, much higher than average on any of NSCC campuses. 18 inmate students awarded 41-hour general education certificates behind bars Jan. 2017. 24 inmate students to be awarded AS degrees; 31 awarded General Education Certificates Jan. 2018. 4 graduates post-release including 1 from Belmont (Dec. 2017), TSU (2013), and two AS from NSCC. Out of 75 former program participants (enrolled more than 1 semester in the program) who have been released since 2012, only 2 have returned to prison. 8

Young Adult Program (YAP) Description Our Young Adult Program (YAP) is for incarcerated students ages 18-24 who are enrolled in our college program at the Turney Center. This program grew out of our desire to expand college programming to more youth offenders (ages 18-24) and provide those students with services tailored to their unique developmental needs. Turney is one of two prisons in Tennessee that house inmates who are in the Young Adult Offender Program (YAOP). Beginning this summer, THEI began working with TDOC administration and the YAOP director to increase YAOP college enrollment and incorporate age-specific support services to accommodate this group of students. Through this program, we have an opportunity to alter the lives of men who are at a developmental stage in which early intervention is possible. Research shows that brain development, particularly in the cortex responsible for decision-making and personality, continues to develop into the early 20s. The opportunity for intervention through higher education, especially through the development of the critical-thinking skills engendered by a liberal arts education, has potential to be a life-changing intervention. YAP students receive support services related to job readiness, including support with making a resume, and soft skills training, like interviewing, conflict resolution on the job, and job retention, and belong to a YAP cohort.

Immediate Reentry Track (IRT) Description Our Immediate Reentry Track (IRT) is for students who are eligible for release within 2 years. At present, roughly 30% of THEI college students at Turney Center are eligible for release within two years, the majority of whom will be released to communities in Middle Tennessee. Research shows that incarcerated individuals who come in contact with a resource practitioner multiple times before release are far more likely to seek support from that person after release. In order to increase the likelihood of degree completion post-release, our Support Services Coordinator develops release plans with students through weekly one-on-one meetings at the prison, up to a year prior to each person s anticipated release date. These meetings establish a relationship of trust and support, and typically include career planning, help securing financial aid, selecting and applying to colleges, and help transferring credits to a new institution. All credits and degrees earned from courses taken through THEI are transferable to all public colleges and universities in the state as well as many private schools in the region.

THEI College Program at Charles Bass Correctional Complex Description PLEASE NOTE: Due to TDOC budget cuts, Charles Bass Correctional Complex (CBCX) was shut down in May 2015. Many of the college students in the program there were transferred to the Turney Center to join the other college program. The initial pilot site, the college program at CBCX was in its 4th year of operation when the prison was closed. Since the program's inception in Jan. 2012, 83 incarcerated men were served and earned college credit leading to an AS degree from Nashville State (primarily) and Lipscomb University. To be admitted to the program, men had to apply and be accepted to NSCC and Lipscomb just as free world students do. They had to complete an application, have a high school diploma or GED, and take the Tennessee college placement (Compass/ACT) exam and score at college level in reading, writing and math. In addition, they had to write a college essay. In order to stay in the program, students had to pay a $20 admin fee per semester, keep a clean disciplinary record, and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. Credits earned from these courses are recognized and transferable to any Tennessee Board of Regents college or university, as well as certain private colleges and universities in the Southeastern region. Based upon a cohort model, 25 men moved through the program together, taking 1-3 courses per semester. There were 3 cohorts at Charles Bass. Many of the men in cohort 3 are now at the Turney Center. Technology was an important piece of the program as it was desired that incarcerated students experience technological equity, to the extent possible, with NSCC campus students. Students were assigned desk-top computers with microsoft office and other non-internet based software. Instructors and students used the smart board, smart projector and laser printer. The prisoners do not have access to the internet, but were gaining much needed computer skills that would help them be successful in a 21st century digital world.
