On Knox’s prison education program
Megan Shafar, Staff Writer • February 13, 2025
“I am part of the second cohort of the Knox-Henry Hill inside-out class. Every Friday in spring term, we gathered in a circle in the prison’s Classroom 3: a group of Knox students, who we call outside students, and men who are incarcerated at Hill, who we call inside students. At the end of his poem, an inside classmate wrote about how he hopes he can have his efforts recognized through academic credit. He has taken Knox classes for several terms, including inside-out classes and creative writing. ”

Haze-free initiation at Knox: How to spot signs of hazing
Emma Blankenship, Volunteer Writer • October 30, 2024
“We try to reinforce the idea that they are there because they genuinely want to be there, reminding us that belonging should be free of fear,” Vice President of Membership Experience of Delta Delta Delta Isabel Oliver said. Hazing is an issue on many college campuses. While it may be passed off as a rite of passage for some organizations, hazing can have lifelong effects. Every student should feel safe and valued in their community, something Knox College works hard to achieve.
