“VUE” – Voices Uniting Everyone – is hosted by Larry Davis, Vice Chancellor of Belonging and Purpose at Austin Community College and Dr. LaKisha Barrett, ACC Biology Associate Professor. In this episode, Larry and Kisha learn about criminal justice programs at ACC with Criminal Justice Adjunct Professor, Felecia Williams, and current student, Yesenia Ruiz Colchado.
