"We Coach Students to Success: Persistence. Performance. Completion."
“Without TRIO, James’ support, and the support of everyone in the program, I don’t think I’d be where I am now. In TRIO, I developed really good study and planning tools, so when I started planning for this semester, I had a level head and was able to make decisions on my own.”
TRIO Student Support Services at Normandale Community College aspires to significantly impact the lives of students, providing intentional support, access, and opportunity to students who are low-income, first-generation college students, and/or students with disabilities, resulting in high levels of persistence, performance, and completion; alumni of our program will go on to be leaders in their communities, transforming their own lives and inspiring future generations.
We coach students to success. TRIO Student Support Services at Normandale Community College provides intensive, individualized coaching to students to achieve persistence, performance, and completion, through sound academic guidance, co-curricular educational experiences, and connection to key resources in order to advance opportunities for students who are low-income, students who are first-generation college students, and/or students with disabilities.
With students always at the center of our work, our primary goal is student persistence, performance, and completion. Everything we do is in service to this goal. We coach students to success.
Persistence. Performance. Completion. Goals.
“One of my biggest fears about college was that I wasn’t going to fit in: I was older than everyone else and didn’t know the system. Everyone [in TRIO] was super nonjudgmental and it was immensely helpful that I could ask the most basic questions. The support you get in a program like TRIO can make or break your experience in school."
“I absolutely love being in TRIO because my coach, Matt, is kind and patient with me. He doesn’t judge me or make me feel like I’m dumb. School, for me, is new and scary, and TRIO helps me stay on track, keep calm, and pushes me to believe in myself.”
