Project Rebound Wins Award

American Society of Criminology President’s Award for Distinguished Contributions to Justice

Project Rebound won the President’s Award for Distinguished Contributions to Justice from the American Society of Criminology. The award is given annually to an individual or organization that has made significant and distinguished contributions to the cause of justice.

Jason Bell, who has served as director of Project Rebound at SF State for 10 years and has worked with the program for over 20 years, accepted the award on behalf of Project Rebound and the many people who have, for decades, made Project Rebound a transformative program.

Project Rebound

For more than 50 years, Project Rebound has made higher education more accessible to and supportive of formerly incarcerated students. Professor John K. Irwin founded Project Rebound in SF State’s Sociology Department in 1967 to support formerly incarcerated students like himself through the admission process and provide wraparound support during their academic careers. With a dedicated team, Bell led an expansion effort to bring Project Rebound to 18 additional California State University campuses. Project Rebound has extended the reach and impact of higher education, changed people’s lives and contributed to diverse communities. 

Open University

Project Rebound is a special admissions program assisting formerly incarcerated individuals who might not normally qualify for university acceptance. Courses are offered through the College of Professional & Global Education's Open University to support students in need of bridge courses to full matriculation.
