The 2007 Fall Newsletter is now available online. It is published twice a year and highlights Hudson Link's activities and the men we serve.

2007 Graduation: On June 6, more than 30 men walked down the aisle in their caps and gowns to receive college diplomas. They were the students at the Sing Sing campus of Mercy College. Find out more here.

Spring Benefit: Friends, graduates and faculty attended Hudson Link's annual Spring Benefit, Reaching for New Tomorrows, in New York City on May 10. The event honored Dr. Louise Feroe, The Rev. Canon Petero Sabune and Sean "Dino" Johnson.

Welcome

Hudson Link is a Nonprofit Organization committed to helping the inmates of Sing Sing Correctional Facility prepare for more constructive and meaningful lives now, and upon reentering society. In collaboration with the men at Sing Sing, we accomplish this by giving them the opportunity to experience the positive effects of learning at the college level.

The highlight of each year is our graduation ceremony at Sing Sing, where the men who have worked hard to earn their degrees walk down the aisle to the applause -- and happy tears -- of their family and friends. This year's commencement speaker was Actor Ice-T, who challenged the men to leave prison with their degrees and make a difference.

Your support makes it possible for Hudson Link to fund the college courses at Sing Sing. A Spring Benefit is held each year that brings together friends and supporters to meet some of Hudson Link's students, many of whom are contributing to society and the community with jobs in the social services field.
