Special Note

This is a full-time, overtime eligible position on the Olympia campus of The Evergreen State College and in Washington carceral facilities. This position is an “at-will” appointment, exempt from Washington State Civil Service rules.

Position Purpose

This position focuses on increasing access to Evergreen education inside carceral settings, with the specific goal to initiate and lead program implementation and operations for the Evergreen Prison Education Program (EPEP), which offers Evergreen’s Bachelor of Arts degree within prisons.

This position is responsible for 1) supervising EPEP student staff, interns, and volunteers as needed and supporting Evergreen faculty working in the Bachelor’s degree program; 2) leading and managing student recruitment and admissions, supporting staff leading academic and financial aid advising, and providing direct student support services to currently incarcerated Evergreen Bachelor’s degree students; 3) leading administrative tasks, including data collection, budgeting, and reporting for the Evergreen degree program and providing support to EPEP Co-Directors to sustain programs, manage EPEP tracking, reporting, and evaluation, and contribute to funding proposals and budgeting processes; 4) developing collaborations with education and community organizations and building and maintaining relationships with college offices (Admissions, Financial Aid, Registration, Marketing, Library Services, and Student Success, including Access Services, Academic and Career Advising, Student Wellness Services, Student Activities, etc.); and 5) in coordination with Co-Directors, develop and update annual program spending plans and maintain purchase tracking information.

Program Description

EPEP “clears away obstacles to learning” (WAC 174-121-010) by making Evergreen’s interdisciplinary Bachelor’s degree available to scholars incarcerated in Washington State Corrections facilities. EPEP’s theme-based, inquiry-driven cohort model of experiential learning is anchored in a rigorous and responsive curriculum focused on critical thinking, scholarly agency, and the co-creation of knowledge. EPEP is part of the Evergreen Liberation Education Network (ELEN), a liberation education and reintegration network based at The Evergreen State College. ELEN’s mission is to expand access to an Evergreen education for currently incarcerated and legally liberated people and to provide holistic support for the scholars we serve. ELEN is co-directed by an Evergreen faculty member leading curriculum development and delivery and an administrator leading operations. Network member organizations include Liberation Scholars, the Sustainability in Prisons Project (SPP), and the Evergreen Prison Education Program (EPEP), which launched in January 2024.

Nature and Scope

EPEP offers a comprehensive Bachelor’s degree for currently incarcerated students. This position excels in a team environment and is dedicated to supporting positive outcomes, quality of life, and fostering a liberatory environment for work and study for currently incarcerated people at Stafford Creek Corrections Center and, as resources are available, for formerly incarcerated people, members of the Evergreen Liberation Education Network, and Evergreen campuses more broadly.

The position reports to the Co-Director, Evergreen Prison Education Project – Curriculum (EPEP Co-Director for Curriculum) and leads all aspects of EPEP student support programming development and implementation while ensuring the program operates in compliance with state and federal policies. The incumbent works in close collaboration between the Department of Corrections (DOC), incarcerated people, other education institutions, and multiple organizations and offices at The Evergreen State College to serve students directly. This position works to ensure students receive correct information and assistance to be successful. EPEP’s work is student-centered, with all curricula, professional development, and events organized around student success.

The incumbent assists the EPEP Co-Director for Curriculum in developing innovative strategies to sustain the continued growth, well-being, and integrity of EPEP’s degree program, and supports the EPEP team in embodying our mission, vision, and values. This work includes exposure to potentially difficult information, people struggling with health and other life circumstances, and sometimes challenging work environments. We aim to support the person in this position in processing difficult aspects of the work in healthy and productive ways, including support from supervisors, team members, and community and by engaging in training, group-care, and other practices that support wellbeing. We are deeply dedicated to positive change, collective liberation, and consistent compassion to provide effective support for incarcerated and legally liberated students.

We aim to support a healthy professional and personal life balance. This leadership role is also part of a team supporting education and reintegration services. Within the team there is cross-training for critical redundancy of select services to provide consistent, quality support for students. Tasks will be prioritized to fit within the position’s scope and to support wellbeing for the person in the position.
