During the COVID-19 pandemic, the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Team remains committed to the educational and personal advancement of our TRIO SSS participants. The TRIO SSS Team will continue to provide all services through remote platforms such as zoom confer, Google Hangouts , email and phone.

 

All current TRIO SSS participants should have received a TRIO SSS Remote Services Guide for Students (via email) on Friday, March 27, 2020. The guide provides critical information regarding how to make appointments with our TRIO SSS Counselors, Educational Advisor, Student Success Coach and/or Project Director. Additionally, the guide outlines instructions for joining the TRIO SSS Program GroupMe. The GroupMe is the best way of remaining in contact with the TRIO SSS Team in real time.

As we transition to remote services, our (remote) office hours remain the same:

Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
