Over 125 student and community activists traveled to Boone over the weekend to attend the 9th annual SURGE Conference. Students attended workshops on a variety of important issues and learned about criminal justice reform and the realities of the modern prison system from exonoree Darryl Hunt, a native of Winston-Salem.

 Pictures from the conference will be available soon in our Photo Gallery. If you did not get a chance to fill out your conference survey, it will be available online later this week. In the meantime, please let us know what you thought of the conference and how it could be improved!
