Solano sees 27 graduate mentor program

California State Prison Solano recently celebrated 27 incarcerated graduates from the Occupational Mentor Certification Program (OMCP) cohort 12.

Those attending included:

• Warden (A) Schultz
• Chief Deputy Warden (A) Gonzales
• Integrated Substance Use Disorder Treatment (ISUDT) contract staff
• family and friends of the graduates
• dignitaries from throughout California.

After 15 months of mentor program training, the Solano graduates now begin their journey to accumulate over 2,000 internship hours to become officially certified.

They will work with ISUDT contract staff in delivering Cognitive Behavioral Interventions programming to the incarcerated population. This milestone helps participants with employment prospects Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) counselors when they are paroled.

OMCP began as a pilot program at Solano in 2008. Now, the program is available in seven institutions.

What is the mentor program?

The mentor program teaches incarcerated persons to use their lived experiences and training to mentor and support their peers while incarcerated. Trainees receive some of the best AOD treatment education to be able to aid their incarcerated community.

Currently, OMCP has 394 participants comprising trainees, interns, and certified mentors across California prisons. Since 2019, 244 OMCP mentors have paroled with a recidivism rate of less than 1%, making OMCP one of the most successful rehabilitation programs in the California prison system. The program gives purpose and fulfillment to mentors while incarcerated, and a potential career upon release back into the community.

Learn more about the program on the website .

RECRUITING NEW PhD Student and Postdoc for fall 2025!

August 5, 2024

In a longstanding collaboration between the Moffitt-Caspi  Team and the Hariri Lab https://www.haririlab.com/home.html , we are recruiting a new PhD student and a new postdoctoral fellow for fall 2025. We seek trainees who have a specific interest in midlife brain aging , its origins in early life, and its implications for mental and physical health in later life.  The research training will be grounded in the ongoing longitudinal Dunedin Study, which has followed a population-representative birth cohort for six decades , funded by the National Institute on Aging .  We collected a first wave of MRI data in 875 Study members when they were 45 years old and are currently collecting a second wave of data as Dunedin Study members turn 52 years old this year .  We expect the second wave of data collection to be ready for analysis by fall semester 2025 .  This will lead to many opportunities to map individual life histories (e.g., childhood adversity, environmental exposures, history of mental illness) onto changes in midlife brain structure , cognitive changes, epigenetic aging measures , and risk markers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.  The research training will also afford opportunities to extend findings from the Dunedin Study through other MRI datasets and epigenetic datasets, including those collected through ADNI, UK Biobank, BrainLat, and ENIGMA.  The trainee will be collectively supervised by Avshalom Caspi, Ahmad Hariri, and Temi Moffitt.  Applications for the Duke PhD program may be submitted through either the Clinical Psychology training area or the Cognition & the Brain training area in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience , as well as the Cognitive Neuroscience Admitting Program.   Applications for Postdoc training can be submitted through a number of T32 Training Grant programs in the Duke Medical School. Ideal candidates will have existing research experience with MRI data analysis including a strong background in programming , or experience with epigenetics research . Contact us to discuss your application.

Saint Joseph’s University and the Barnes Foundation Launch Online Museum Education Graduate Program, Marking First-Of-Its-Kind Collaboration in Philadelphia

Innovative partnership offers students a unique opportunity to learn from esteemed museum experts

Written by: Kevin Gfeller, BS ’20

Published: August 5, 2024

Total reading time: 3 minutes

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 5, 2024 — Today, Saint Joseph’s University and the Barnes Foundation announced a new online graduate program designed to prepare future museum educators for roles in public and private institutions. Beginning in fall 2024, the museum education graduate program will offer a Master of Arts in Museum Education and a Museum Education Certificate . 

Building on the educational affiliation between the Barnes and Saint Joseph’s University, which began in 2018 to further the common missions of both institutions, this new, comprehensive graduate program teaches students how to share knowledge with the public in an engaging and inclusive way, from K-12 school groups to museum visitors. Participants will learn strategies for teaching about objects and collections and develop skills applicable to any type of museum, including art and natural history museums, science institutes and historical sites. 

“The uniqueness of our new museum education program lies in the strength of the partnership between the Barnes and SJU,” says Joshua Power, BS ’05, EdD ’16 , dean of the School of Education and Human Development at Saint Joseph’s University. “This program was co-created by these two great institutions to provide a one-of-a-kind educational experience tailored specifically to the museum industry and advancing your museum career.” 

Offered entirely online, the museum education program was designed for students from around the world, with assignments and projects that encourage participants to engage with their local museums. Students will explore various topics, including the history of museum education; pedagogical strategies for gallery-based teaching; and museum management. Each course will be taught by esteemed faculty who bring a wealth of practical experience.

“This innovative endeavor with Saint Joseph’s University is at the heart of our mission to make art accessible and relatable through education,” says Martha Lucy, Deputy Director for Research, Interpretation, and Education at the Barnes Foundation. “The Barnes has been focused on learning since our founding in 1922, so this really is in our DNA — and we are excited to help shape the next generation of museum educators.”

In addition to learning from expert faculty, students enrolled in the program will use the Barnes’ state-of-the-art Visual Experience Platform (VXP), designed specifically for the study of visual material. This innovative online learning tool allows students to zoom in on artworks in astonishing detail while engaging in dialogue with their peers and educators, creating a highly interactive environment conducive to learning. 

Local students enrolled in the program will have access to the many vibrant cultural offerings of Philadelphia as well as internship opportunities at the Barnes and Saint Joseph’s University’s Frances M. Maguire Art Museum , which is housed in the original Barnes gallery building. Internships require 35 hours of fieldwork and a biweekly seminar component. 

Credits earned from the certificate program in museum education can be applied toward the Master of Arts in Museum Education at Saint Joseph’s University. Students who complete the certificate program with a GPA of 3.0 or higher can take six additional courses to earn the MA.
