On June 13, at MCI-Norfolk prison, Emerson College and Emerson Prison Initiative held a commencement ceremony to confer Bachelor's degrees on seven graduates who completed their Bachelor of Arts in Media, Literature and Culture, with a minor in Economics. In attendance were more than 100 supporters, including EPI leadership, professors, alumni, current students, graduates' families and other loved ones, Emerson College leaders, and Department of Correction leaders.
This was EPI's second commencement ceremony in prison. Including two EPI graduates who walked in Emerson Boston commencements, this brings the number of EPI graduates to date to 18.
Congratulations, graduates!
