Project Rebound, launched at San Francisco State University in 1967 and expanded to seven other CSU campuses in 2016, is providing formerly incarcerated college students the opportunity and resources to successfully transition and acclimate to a college campus.
“[Project] Rebound scholars are a benefit on campus because they are more than students; they are teachers in the classroom who bring first-hand knowledge and insight into understanding criminal justice, corrections, business and human services through a lens of lived experiences that can be applied to many disciplines,” says Romarilyn Ralston, Project Rebound Program Coordinator at CSU Fullerton.
