Thank you for your interest in TREC! Transformation and Reentry through Education and Community (TREC) is a partnership between the University of Minnesota, Metropolitan State University, and Minneapolis College focused on offering degree programs for students who are currently incarcerated.

At this time, the University of Minnesota is focused on on making the following contributions to the larger TREC Partnership:

1) Recruiting and supporting our faculty, instructors, postdocs, and graduate students to teach in-person courses through Metropolitan State and Minneapolis College for degree-seeking students at MCF-Stillwater and MCF-Lino Lakes.

2) Identifying members of our broader University community who are interested in volunteering their time to support our TREC students by participating in in-person extra-curricular programming, mentoring, tutoring (especially writing or math), or other academic support services.

If you are interested in Option 1 (Teaching), please use this form to share more information with us about your interest and availability.

If you are interested in Option 2 (Volunteering), please complete the separate Volunteer Interest Form here: https://forms.gle/r4qrx5CpmXqrRyYz8

At this time, we are able to offer three options for instructors to teach through the TREC Partnership. Using the checkboxes below, please note which of these opportunities would be of interest to you. *

Teaching an in-person course through Metropolitan State or Minneapolis College on overload as adjunct faculty

Teaching an in-person course through Metropolitan State or Minneapolis College on a course buyout, paid for by the Department of Corrections (please note that these opportunities will be more limited and dependent upon DoC budget and department approval)

Teaching a summer session collective study through Metropolitan State for a small group of students with occasional in-person meetings (for a modest stipend of approximately $200 per student)

Required

Based on MN Department of Corrections policy, all instructors working inside correctional facilities will be required to complete a clearance procedure that requires: a valid ID; consent to be photographed; and disclosure of past felony convictions, time served in a MN correctional facility, or association with anyone incarcerated in MN. While this information would NOT disqualify you from teaching, it would need to be disclosed during this process. Before continuing with this form, please confirm if you would be willing to complete this DOC clearance process. *
