A diverse group of professionals leads Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison. A cornerstone of our belief is those closest to the problem are also closest to the solution. Over 70% of our team at Hudson Link is formerly incarcerated. Our lived experiences empower us to work within our communities in unique and meaningful ways.

Sean Pica
President
“Hudson Link, and college education, is not just a gift for that student, changing their life. It’s a gift for the people who are going back to their families, back to their communities and back to the world we all live in.”
Dr. Lila McDowell
Executive Director
“Hudson Link’s mission is not just to prepare our students for the world. We have not fully achieved our goal until we have prepared the world to receive them – with open arms.”
