The Vassar/Green Haven Reunion

Every year formerly incarcerated men and women who have participated in Vassar College programs gather at Vassar with the students who have participated in these programs for a single day of food, conversations, film screenings, and conviviality. A diverse collection of formerly incarcerated men and women from various facilities, prison activists, community leaders, professors, students, and so on all gather in the same location for the purpose of remembering their experiences together and discussing the criminal justice system in America. During this experience attendees have the opportunity to meet people who have devoted much of their lives to helping those whom American society turns its back on. Many of the men and women travel long distances and are eager to see each other after long periods of separation. There are discussion-based forums and lectures about specific topics relating to the criminal justice system and social issues. Panels are held in which formerly incarcerated men and women have the opportunity to discuss their experiences and compare and contrast them. Come to the Ely Aula Auditorium for the Vassar/Green Haven Reunion on Saturday, April 2nd.
