OVERVIEW
TRiO Academic Services helps to retain and graduate first-generation, low-income students, and individuals with disabilities. Academic support is offered through individual and group sessions with professional staff members as well as in a learning lab environment staffed by peer tutors/mentors. Academic support classes are offered in study skills, math, science, leadership, and basic computer skills. The learning lab provides peer tutors/mentors, math and science professionals, and computer/internet access.
