SSS Makes a Difference...
'I have fought every step for a better education. TRIO不仅帮助我找到了一个完美的地方来获得我的学位,而且在这个过程中帮助我找到了自己. I have never been happier than I am right now. 我在朝着我喜欢的方向努力,同时也在享受美好的时光. TRIO帮助学生解决学校和社会问题——他们就像一个远离家乡的家庭. 我很乐意向TRIO办公室的任何人提出任何问题. TRIO的人都是有爱心的人,这并不重要...who a person may be or what has happened. 这是一群亲密的了不起的人,他们将站在一起,互相帮助,取得成功. Anyone who has been part of TRIO is truly blessed. TRIO不仅仅是校园里的一个项目.' - Amanda, 2nd year student
