Presented by the Arts & Letters Inclusion & Belonging Committee.
With special guests Scott Jackson, Mary Irene Ryan Family Executive Artistic Director of Shakespeare at Notre Dame, and Miles Folsom, a graduate of the Moreau College Initiative at the Westville Correctional Facility and 2022 valedictorian of Holy Cross College.
Miles Folsom is a former prisoner turned advocate for criminal justice reform. Sentenced to 36 years at 16, he transformed his life through education. Released in 2020, he created an NGO, Invested Youth. In 2022, he became the Valedictorian of Holy Cross College. He now works as a public speaker.
Miles shares a remarkable story that encompasses a rare glimpse into the state of a human beset by both good and evil. His entanglement with criminality came early, leading to his quick demise. Once in prison, however, he persevered. He spent all his waking time seeking education and freedom.
Bring a lunch and learn more about about Miles’ journey. Dessert and beverages will be provided.
