Turning Roadblocks into Opportunities
With the right attitude a TRiO student can achieve their goals.
Attitude is Everything
Read what students have to say about their experiences in TRiO-SSS:
I want to thank all the staff at TRiO-SSS for all of their support. I especially want to thank Dean, my MAT 050 tutor, for helping me with my math. Dean is an excellent tutor, with great patience. He helped me to understand and made complicated math simple. Dean's tutoring has given me the confidence I need to move on. I am so glad that I joined TRiO-SSS, and I look forward to your support for the spring semester.

The counselors and tutors have made such a big difference in my life. After 18 years of being away from school, I never knew that I would enjoy school as much as I do today. I have tremendous respect for the counselors for helping me and guiding me with educational and career goals, and much thanks to the tutors for opening my mind to a new world of thinking. I have earned a WINGS scholarship through help offered in TRiO. If I can do this, I know that you can do it too!

TRiO has really helped me during the last three semesters. I had tutors who helped me with Accounting and English. And the TRiO staff is very friendly. I appreciate it very much.

This experience has brightened my outlook on my educational goals. All the tutors and other friends have encouraged me on my path to success. They were always willing to help . A friendly place to get your thoughts together. They were always professional but above all, like a small family in a large system.

TRiO is a wonderful program. Some people have trouble learning in big groups and need a more “one on one” time with the tutor. At TRiO, this is what you have. Whatever questions you have about that subject, it is addressed and they help you really understand it. I do appreciate them and all their help. I really do think that they have a great program and I will be a part of it every semester I am at CPCC. Thank you!

The Student Support Services have helped me to become an independent learning respiratory therapist student. It has been hard work but very rewarding. I owe much of my success to myself for being obedient with my studies. Also, I thank TRiO for molding and shaping me into the student that I am today.
