Sean Mueller
CU Denver PEP Advisory Board Member & Program Alum
Sean Mueller’s journey from incarcerated learner to a leadership role on the CU Denver PEP Advisory Board is a powerful example of the "Full Circle" impact of prison education. During his time in the program, Sean distinguished himself through academic excellence and a deep commitment to the community of scholars behind the walls.
Today, Sean provides a critical voice in shaping the future of the Colorado Coalition for Higher Education in Prison (C-CHEP). By bringing his lived experience to the boardroom, he ensures that our programs remain student-centered, rigorous, and attuned to the real-world challenges of reentry. His advocacy serves as a bridge between the classroom and the community, proving that an investment in education is an investment in lifelong leadership.
"Education didn't just give me a degree; it gave me the tools to advocate for the next generation of students."

Colorado Radio Justice: Community Advocacy & Reentry Resources
The Colorado Radio Justice "Hotlines" show serves as a vital weekly audio bulletin board and advocacy platform for the C-CHEP community. Produced in partnership with Remerg, Denver’s premier hub for reentry resources, this program bridges the gap between incarcerated scholars and the wider community. Our members frequently feature on the show to discuss the intersections of health equity, higher education, and the systemic challenges of reentry.
By centering lived expertise on the airwaves, "Hotlines" provides a real-time tool for navigating life after prison while advocating for student-centered, rigorous programs that support lifelong leadership. These broadcasts are more than just interviews; they are an essential resource for health justice and a blueprint for the next generation of advocates working to transform the landscape of justice in Colorado.
