BALTIMORE — Adnan Syed is now a Georgetown University employee, the private university in Washington, D.C., announced.
Georgetown hired Syed, who was freed after 23 years in a Maryland prison, as a program associate for the university’s Prisons and Justice Initiative. One of his responsibilities will be working with the initiative’s “Making an Exoneree” class, during which students reinvestigate decades-old wrongful convictions and create short documentaries about the cases to “help bring innocent people home from prison.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Adnan Syed to the Georgetown Prisons and Justice Initiative! PJI’s team and programming has so much to gain from Adnan’s experience, insight, and commitment to serving incarcerated people and returning citizens,” the initiative wrote Wednesday on Twitter.
