## Resource

Sixty-seven students walked away with diplomas and technical certs from Cowley College’s groundbreaking graduation at Winfield Correctional Facility—proof that education can transform lives, no matter the starting point. Thirteen earned high school diplomas, while others dominated in construction, electromechanical maintenance, and welding. Twelve hit the Dean’s Honor Roll, thirteen nailed the President’s Honor Roll with perfect 4.0 GPAs, and one even snagged a scholarship. This program, powered by a partnership with Kansas DOC, is building futures, boosting job readiness, and proving that second chances, when paired with opportunity, lead to real, lasting change.
