“TRIO SSS to me means unity . TRIO has helped me learn more about the college setting, being a first-generation student. Initially, it was hard learning the ropes but TRIO made sure I had what I needed to continue on successfully as well as introduce me to developmental skills I would need eventually, later on down the line. While also gaining a family of people I know that are always rooting for me. I am very grateful to have experienced a program as amazing as this one #WELOVETRIO”

“I am a sophomore, biology premed major and am very appreciative of the opportunities provided by TRIO SSS.  Being in TRIO, I was taken to Houston to tour Texas Southern University. During the tour, I was also able to gain insight into the local life and environment. TRIO has also given me an opportunity to gain employment for a semester while in college.”
