Welcome to TRiO Student Support Services. We want you
to succeed and get the most out of your education!
TRiO Mission Statement: The mission of
TRiO Student Support Services is to increase opportunities for academic
success for first-generation and/or low-income students and students with
disabilities. Our program does this by actively providing comprehensive
academic support services and encouragement to our participants. Our
overarching goal is to increase graduation and baccalaureate transfer rates
for our students and to foster a climate supportive of the success of SSS-eligible
students.
What is TRiO Student Support Services? TRiO is a team of professional staff and student tutors who provide
one-on-one academic support to First-Generation students, economically
disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities. TRiO Student Support
Services is one of more
than 900 similar programs nationwide. Our purpose is to
teach students how to navigate the college system, identify their
educational goals and achieve academic success.
How can TRiO support my educational journey?
If you are a student who has been away from school for some time, feels
unprepared for what is expected in college, or if you're wondering if you

Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, our TRiO program works with only
200 students at one time. Working with a smaller population of
students is what sets us apart from other resources on campus. Having
more one-on-one time with students allows us to get to know you better and
provide personalized advising. As a result, you will become part of a
network of
individualized and intensive services designed to enhance your academic and
personal development. We also provide opportunities for campus community
involvement, workshop participation, and cultural events. |
