The 2022 STEM-OPS Annual Convening, to be held October 25–27, 2022, in St. Louis, Missouri, will convene researchers, practitioners, educators, and community leaders who work at the intersection of correctional programs and STEM. Attend to learn from STEM-OPS partners and others about:

• Launching and leading STEM college-in-prison programming
• Establishing mentoring, internships, and other supports for currently or formerly incarcerated students in STEM fields
• Supporting for inclusive hiring of justice-impacted individuals in STEM careers
• Ensuring that the voices of justice-impacted individuals are present among STEM educators, professionals, and scholars
• Building strategies to strengthen pedagogy and instruction for STEM college-in-prison programs and to disrupt the K-16 school-to-prison pipeline

STEM-OPS is committed to elevating the perspectives of people who have been directly impacted by incarceration and many sessions feature the work of STEM-OPS partners who are justice-impacted. Fees for attendance at the convening are waived for people who are justice-impacted (Enter the code “STEMSUCCESS” when completing the registration).
