SUMMARY:"On the Inside" Speaker Event: UNO TRAC (Transforming\, Renewing\, Achieving\, and Connecting) a Higher Education in Prison Program
DESCRIPTION:A virtual talk and Q&A with Ms. Peggy Jones and Dr. Steve Langan to discuss On the Inside\, a group show of LGBTQ+ artists who are currently incarcerated. Jones and Langan will be discussing their work with UNO TRAC (Transforming\, Renewing\, Achieving\, and Connecting) a Higher Education in Prison Program.
