We couldn’t be more proud of our TRIO SSS and McNair students who have been working hard this summer to complete the National TRIO Career Development Program! More than 100 college students are partaking in career development sessions, modules and hearing form our First Generation and TRIO Alumni on ways to advocate for themselves professionally and how to land their next opportunity! Thank you to our special guest, Sheila Jones, PMP, “The Job Lady”! She shared helpful insights and tips on preparing for the interview, executing the interview and the importance of having confidence!

“Research credits alumni interaction as a driving force to student success engagement in the campus community both personally and academically (Dollinger et al).” Examples include: a) career opportunities, mentoring, and networking experiences (Ashline, 2017; Dollinger et al., 2019; Larsson et al., 2021; Skrzypek et al., 2019).” Being a part of the National TRIO Alumni Association (Official) supports this ultimate goal of ALL of our students; academically, personally and professionally. It’s the rites of passage to pay it forward to those next to you, homage to those before you; and provide leadership to those after you.
