TRIO Events

TRIO/SSS offers events throughout the academic year focused on student development in critical areas. Note that all TRIO/SSS students are required to attend at least two events per semester to meet program expectations. 

1. Students will define foundational skills pertaining to their academic success. These skills will assist in key areas such as time management, study skills, advocacy, personal wellness, and stress management. 

2. Students will learn strategies to enhance and improve financial literacy. These strategies may focus on topics like budgeting, fiscal responsibility, and the fiscal aspects of college planning (i.e. FAFSA, student loans, grants, scholarships, etc.). 

3. Students will identify challenges within our local community by directly experiencing and engaging in diverse cultural practices through events and activities.

4. Students will interpret ways in which they can assist our local community by taking part in community service-based initiatives.

5. Students will engage in professional development and execute career readiness strategies.
