It\u202fwas 1980. Our department, then called\u202fthe\u202fOffice of Minority Affairs,\u202fhad just\u202freceived a new grant award from the U.S. Department of Education. The UW\u202fhad won a new opportunity for students from\u202feconomically disadvantaged\u202fbackgrounds, students with disabilities, and students who are the first in their families to\u202fpursue 4-year degrees. Three hundred\u202fstudents from this population\u202fwould now have access to\u202fholistic advising, targeted instruction and tutoring, and innovative co-curricular opportunities to help them thrive and grow through the Husky experience and ultimately earn their\u202fBachelor\u2019s\u202fdegrees. TRIO Student Support Services\u202fhad\u202farrived at\u202fthe UW.<\/p>\n

Today, 40 years later, the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity\u202fis pleased to announce\u202fthat\u202fits\u202fTRIO-Student Support Services\u202fprogram\u202fhas\u202fbeen awarded renewal of\u202ftwo grants, supporting both a TRIO-SSS\u202fRegular\u202fand\u202fa\u202fTRIO-SSS\u202fSTEM program.

Beyond\u202fproviding\u202fholistic\u202fadvising and instructional support, TRIO-SSS\u202foffers program participants a welcoming community where they can\u202ffind belonging on a campus where they might easily feel like outsiders. For instance, first year program participants can take the TRIO-SSS orientation\u202fseminars that\u202fhelp students feel included in a\u202fUW\u202fcommunity\u202fwhile they are\u202fjust starting their\u202fcollege\u202fjourney.\u202fIn addition,\u202fUW TRIO-SSS offers\u202fa range of events and\u202fresources that are tailored to program participants\u2019 needs,\u202fincluding\u202ffinancial literacy workshops, internship opportunities,\u202fand a lab class that teaches bench research skills.<\/p>\n

Participants also\u202fbuild\u202fsocial connections\u202fand affirm\u202ftheir\u202fidentities\u202fby\u202fsharing cultural knowledge at\u202fprogram sponsored events. Past\u202factivities\u202fhave included\u202fa class on how to make spring rolls\u202fand\u202fa hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge.\u202f UW TRIO-SSS\u202fprogramming\u202fleads\u202fstudents\u202fto\u202fparticipate in an inclusive community where they feel safe and appreciated\u202fat the\u202funiversity.\u202fStudents taking the TRIO-SSS writing seminar for new Huskies, for example, report\u202ffeeling welcomed into a community\u202fwhere they\u202fare accepted and understood.\u202f Expressing this sense of belonging,\u202fZavannah\u202fwrites that TRIO-SSS offers her the opportunity to be \u201csurrounded by people who make me feel included\u201d\u202fand\u202fshe\u202fsays,\u202f\u201cI feel at ease knowing that I can be myself.\u201d\u202f Her classmate, Evy, adds that with TRIO-SSS,\u202f\u201cI don\u2019t feel like I am walking alone.\u202fI feel empowered and that I can do anything regardless of race or ethnicity.\u201d<\/p>\n
