Abstract
Recognizing the growing presence of university students who are
also ex-cons, this article discusses the challenges of working with
such individuals and offers practical suggestions for ways to enhance
such interactions. The effects of institutional socialization, cultural
differences, and a range of abilities and motivations presented by ex-
con students requires a need to design and implement unique
instructional, especially mentoring, approaches that are most likely
to be successful.
