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.
