In this episode, Diverse host David Pluviose sits down with Broward College president, Gregory Haile to discuss several initiatives he is spearheading to give students caught up in the justice system a second chance at higher education.
Tune in as Haile, a former practicing attorney, shares his mission to uplift the lives of others through his Court to College Diversion Program as well as the Corrections to College Program created specifically for women.
Participants not only take responsibility for the challenges of an individual but become difference makers to those who desire to live their lives through higher education and transform their futures.

QUOTABLES:
“People do make mistakes. And those people that make those mistakes should be given an opportunity to transform their lives, particularly when doing so could make a difference not only for themselves but for their families, their communities, and of course, enhance the lives of all of those around them.”

Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
