  Provide direct oversight to $226,600 in yearly federal funds to support first generation, low-income student success. I've had the esteemed pleasure of building this program from the ground up based on evidence based best practices, sound data management, and regular program evaluation & assessment. Although our program is small, we have expanded to include a mentorship program, a cohort based TRIO Thrive class, a senior seminar series, and intentional workshops based on student need & feedback. We are looking forward to our grant renewal process. Show less
