Hosted Discussion: 18 Holes on the LINCS
Description: Summer is here and it's the perfect time to join us for 18 holes on the LINCS. For the next 18 days we shall be challenged and have fun exploring the LINCS Course of Correctional and Reentry Education. Join us as we explore the tough Par 3 which considers IET in Corrections, to the long Par 5 which requires mathematical accuracy in correctional and reentry curriculum building. The “course” will provide wonderful areas to discuss best practices and plenty of time to explore the resources throughout LINCS. Looking forward to enjoying this challenging and educational round of golf!
