NARS Reentry Outreach Specialist Benjamin Brockie is featured in University of Washington Magazine. Brockie is a renaissance man! He's an amazing artist, grass dancer, and now his academic pursuits are taking him to spaces that will position him to positively impact our communities. In one way or another he's been giving back for years, and now he's at another level of sacrifice in a big way. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Brockie, we are so proud of you!
