Crossing the Finish Line

July 9, 2025 by Eric Adejuwon Leave a Comment

On June 26th, 27 remarkable graduates, our largest cohort of continuing education students yet, proudly crossed their academic “finish lines” at our Finish Line Pinning Ceremony, receiving their pins as a testament to their hard-earned degrees, trade certificates, or licenses.

Through our Finish Line program, we offer our alumni the invaluable opportunity to complete the degrees they began while incarcerated or to pursue new degrees or trade certifications. This year’s class boasts a plethora of accolades, including graduates who have earned their JDs, MSWs, MPAs, and various vocational certifications—all of whom received support from Hudson Link. These extraordinary achievements empower our graduates to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world at large.

Let this degree be your permission slip to dream again. To love yourself again. To take up space in rooms you never thought you’d enter – and to bring someone with you.

We are filled with pride and anticipation as we look forward to seeing our alums shine brightly as the stars they truly are, inspiring change and making a difference every step of the way.
