I transferred to RIT as Junior from a Community College, which did not prepare me for the advanced level of courses that I would be taking at RIT. I was fortunate to have a mentor working with me through the TRiO SSS office at RIT because she quickly devised a plan of action to bring me up to speed. Among other things, the wonderful staff at TRiO provided me with a specialized tutor when I needed it, helped me find scholarships and is making sure I am on track for graduation. Working with TRiO is like having a support system, cheerleader and mentor all in one.

TRiO is much more than tutoring and guidance. It is an experience builder, kind friendly support, a leg up, breath of fresh air and a major reality check. TRiO specializes in showing you the light at the end of the tunnel, and make sure that you.re on the right path towards it. So, yes TRiO has taught me how to manage my time, study harder, and make the grade. Aside from being a better student they have also taught me how to be a better person.

My dreams were finally realized with the help and dedication that I found available to me here at RIT. The TRiO Student Support Services staff helped me realize these dreams by aligning me with the tutoring support and advising that proved to be a vital part of my success in Mechanical Engineering Technology. This success has led me to employment with the Department of Defense (Navy).
