Pathway to Success: One Book One Program

At Vincennes University, when students are on academic probation for two consecutive semesters they are considered dismissed through the university. If they would like to be re-enrolled in the school, they must file an appeal and be accepted. Once accepted, they are required to go through a semester long success program. This re-admit program includes reading Hole in the Head: A Life Revealed, and receiving a scholarship afterwards. The educational lessons within the book serve as the cornerstone of the program. Through this process, students further develop writing abilities, critical thinking skills, and analytical expression. Additionally, students gain an increased sense of ownership and accountability for their actions and successes. At the conclusion of the program, students who complete all established requirements will be entitled to a $100.00 Pathway to Success: One Book One Program Scholarship.

“Thank you so much for your visit to Vincennes University and the gripping presentations you made to our students, faculty, and community. Your film and book portrayed compelling messages of hope, love, forgiveness, and individual courage expressed in the incredible life of Vertus Hardiman. We can all learn so much from his extraordinary spirit – his ability to overcome a horrible injustice which caused an unspeakable deformity that would have crushed and embittered a lesser person for life. This content should and needs to be incorporated into a wide-variety of curricular activities.”

Bob Slayton: Provost, Vincennes University

“Hole in the Head: A Life Revealed is life changing! As I viewed the documentary and read the book for the first time, I was simultaneously overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude for my many blessings and horrified at the realization of what we, as human beings, are capable of doing to one another. I have now read the book twice and viewed the documentary at least a dozen times. Each time, Vertus and Wilbert remind me about the importance of the gifts of kindness and forgiveness in our lives. Based upon the story’s impact on my life, I am incorporating Hole in the Head: A Life Revealed into my doctoral dissertation. Thank you for sharing these lifelong educational treasures.”
