The mission of 探花视频鈥檚 Education Preparedness Program (EPP) is to create pathways to higher education for currently and formerly incarcerated individuals and to expand traditional boundaries of higher education through collaboration across the Milwaukee community.

The EPP is an initiative of 探花视频鈥檚 Center for Urban Research, Teaching, and Outreach (CURTO) within the College of Arts and Sciences. We prioritize community-immersive practices that break down barriers and facilitate collaborative learning for personal and social transformation. 

EPP Vision 

The program鈥檚 guiding principles include: promoting Milwaukee and racial justice, fostering system-impacted leadership, introducing a blended course model that follows humanistic pedagogy, and providing wrap-around services.
