TRIO Ambassador Program
The TRIO SSS Student Ambassador Program is composed of SSS participants interested in developing their leadership skills and having a voice in delivering SSS services. The TRIO SSS Ambassadors represent the TRIO SSS student population and express participants’ thoughts and recommendations for workshops, cultural/educational events, and other activities that support the SSS goal of helping students achieve academic success and independence through the pursuit of higher education and the acquisition of a university degree.
SSS students who participate in the Student Ambassador Program will gain valuable communication, planning and plan implementation skills that should benefit them throughout life, as they gain the confidence to participate in community government and as they pursue graduate studies. Involved students then gain a true understanding of the University’s concept of offering students a “future of opportunities” as SSS students themselves engage in the planning of future events.
If you have questions or want to know more about the TRIO Ambassador Program please email a TRIO staff member.
