Emily Guenther

Emily Guenther has been the Director of the Prison Program at Grinnell College since 2008, immediately after she graduated from Grinnell. She was leader of the Liberal Arts in Prison (LAPP) student group doing education work while she was enrolled at Grinnell, and has been thrilled to develop a college program since then. LAPP now offers college courses at its original site at Newton Correctional Facility, a medium-security men’s prison, and expanded to the state’s only women’s prison in 2022. She is excited to finally make it to the BPI Residency!
