Campus Programming

TRIO Scholars Program

The TRIO Scholars Program (or TRIO for short) is a student support services (SSS) program and scholar community, designed to provide support, guidance, resources, and opportunities that help our students thrive in college and prepare for their futures. Our goal is to help each of our TRIO Scholars reach their full potential, both in college and as they prepare for post-graduate life.

Through personalized meetings with expert advisors, workshops and hands-on learning opportunities, self-guided learning tools, career coaching planning, and unique cultural and educational travel opportunities, TRIO helps its participants make friends and campus connections, strengthen their academic skills, develop their personal financial knowledge, overcome the challenges that come with day-to-day life, manage their personal wellness, and prepare for their future after college.

The TRIO Scholars Program is funded by a US Department of Education Student Support Services (SSS) grant.

Office of Coordinated Care

The Office of Coordinated Care (OCC) is a student support office designed to assist students facing complex barriers during their college career. The OCC provides case management for students who would benefit from referrals to on or off-campus resources, including academic departments, advisors, coaches, financial resources, mental/healthcare providers, transportation, and more.

Students may utilize the OCC when:

• Seeking assistance in locating stable and consistent access to basic needs (ex. nutritious food, clean water, safe housing, and affordable health care).
• Returning from campus after medical procedures, illness, or injury
• Navigating complex situations that may impact student success (caretaking responsibilities, transportation issues, etc.)
• Creating an academic success plan
