TRiO Student Support Services

Tomorrow is the big day, and we are excited to see students again. We have worked hard over the summer to prepare excellent programming to support you in your education. Check out the newsletter link to see what we have in store.

We graduated a large cohort this June, and so we are looking for about 40 new students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university right away after graduating from Pierce to benefit from TRiO services. Send your friends to the back of the Welcome Center so we can determine if they are eligible!

Hopefully by now you have registered for classes. The system will be offline tonight through noon on Tuesday, and then former and new students will be registering.

TRiO’s Academic Recognition Ceremony will be June 2nd. Graduates can pick up your free cap and gown in the bookstore now. We look forward to seeing you there!

We are off and running in 2011. Next week is mandatory orientation for TRiO students at the Winter Welcome. We will meet from 12:30-2pm in HEC 302. Lunch will be provided. Please call 253.912.3644 or email jpretty@pierce.ctc.edu if you have class or work at this time.

TRiO has been crazy busy so far this fall. We had a wonderful reception to celebrate the funding of our new grant proposal with faculty and staff. We offered a very successful scholarship essay-writing workshop. This week was packed: a campus visit to PLU Monday, and today our Fall Welcome. This orientation broke all previous records with almost 50% of the TRiO students attending! We have a lot more activities planned for fall, so come check us out in the Welcome Center!

Yesterday was the first day of summer, and TRiO Staff are on campus Monday through Thursday. Stop by to see us!
