Spotlight On Success

Students and faculty at our Graduate School of Social Work partnered with 36 schools in the Denver Public Schools system for the Spotlight on Success program, which works to lessen the rate of out-of-school suspensions that disproportionately affect students of color and increase their risk for contact with the criminal justice system. The goals of the program are to identify more effective disciplinary strategies, help end the school-to-prison pipeline and give students a better chance to contribute to our shared community.
