Winter Virtual Alumni Showcase Series with Rachel Kurtz Gross

  • Dates: 14 – 14 Jan, 2025

When Rachel Kurtz Gross '74 graduated from Manchester College (remove "in 1974"), she wasn’t sure what her majors in psychology and peace studies would lead to. It turned out to be the Death Row Support Project which she founded and then led from 1978-2023. Now her daughter Heidi Gross ’02 is supporting the project, which provides pen pals for people under sentence of death in the U.S. Rachel and Heidi will talk about the project’s goals and what they’ve learned from some of the thousands of people who have participated. Register here
