PUEBLO â Often times, youth serving sentences in facilities do not have access to college education, ultimately falling behind in society once released.
Colorado State University Pueblo is helping change that.
âEvery student deserves an education,â said Kathryn Starkey, the Adult Learning Lead Specialist at the university.
