A CU Denver partnership with the Colorado Department of Corrections recently celebrated a milestone, holding “graduation” ceremonies for incarcerated learners who completed a seven-class sequence leading toward a Certificate in Strategic Communication. Led by Stephen Hartnett, professor from CU Denver’s communication department, the Prison Education program offers college communication classes aimed at giving prisoners the skills and confidence to return to their communities.
