Recognition Ceremony

Each year, TRIO SSS hosts a celebratory recognition event to acknowledge the accomplishments of our student leaders, seniors, and faculty partners. SSS students and staff have the ability to nominate their peers and faculty for awards, and campus and community partners are invited to join the celebration as awards are bestowed. 

Award Nominations:
SSS students and staff are invited to submit their nominations for student and faculty awards by March 10th.

SSS Senior Graduation Survey:
SSS seniors are invited to complete this senior survey so we can celebrate you during our recognition festivities.
