Listen "Interviews with Network Support Services alumni"
Episode Synopsis
In Fall 2020, Adelphi students in Prof. Cristina Zaccarini's First-Year Seminar class, and the Adelphi Innovation Center, which develops opportunities for students in applied learning, worked with Network Support Services alumni who were incarcerated, Outreach Coordinator Mr. Nahshon Jackson, Andre Peart, and Hudson Link's "New Beginnings" program. Students interviewed these individuals, who work for the successful reentry of those who are incarcerated, for the Mindfulness Resolution Project, which seeks to build bridges of cooperation based on empathy among those from different walks of life.
While many Network alumni did not have the resources, educational opportunities, or emotional support that they needed early in life, by studying mindfulness and becoming part of the Network Support Services community in prison, they were able to thrive in ways that they never imagined. Adelphi students discovered how those who partake of this Network program go on to find fulfillment in their work and personal lives, often becoming entrepreneurs and social activists. Students found Network alumni inspirational for their empathy, present-mindedness, and gratitude as the alumni moved forward in life eager to uplift others.
