Academic Support
Stateville Academic Support Team (SAST) and Logan Academic Support Team (LAST) are dedicated to providing vital academic support to incarcerated students at Stateville and Logan Correctional Centers. Through personalized tutoring, resource distribution, and academic programming, our Academic Support teams empower students, foster their success, and bridge the gap between NPEP students and the Northwestern community, enabling transformative educational opportunities.
Wellness
NPEP’s Wellness Team is a collective that aims to support the academic, emotional, and psycho-social well-being of our students. In commitment to our belief that fostering a sense of belonging is central to intellectual growth, we aim to support community-building among cohorts at Stateville and Logan Correctional Centers.
We believe in an academic environment that is anti-competitive, mutually collaborative, and fostering of collective growth. Ongoing wellness efforts include: intentionally curated wellness resources (including a weekly reflective packet and a wellness bookshelf); community engagement and celebration opportunities (including community social hours, and a platform for sharing news, gratitudes, and prayers among the community each week); and routine 1:1 peer check-ins (both in-person and through correspondence).
The NPEP wellness team welcomes opportunities to connect regarding the facilitation of cross-campus events, community partnerships, and in-person programming.
