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 inaugural conference on April 19 will bring together representatives of higher education, law enforcement and corrections, community-based organizations and rehabilitative agencies to raise awareness of the challenges formerly incarcerated and system-impacted individuals face, and opportunities available to help them succeed.
