What students are saying about the SSP "The success plan helps to put things in perspective for me each semester and random check ins with questions like these give me a moment to stop and reflect on my progress. This helps me see where I need to improve and what I am doing well in. This is great motivation!"--Arlene Salas, Achieve program participant

Hi TRIO Achiever, My name is David Montalvo. I'm a senior, majoring in Communications, and a longtime TRIO member. I've performed stand-up comedy at Comedy Sportz and I helped create the YouTube sitcom Take One Pass It Back, filmed at NEIU. I'll be hosting the TRIO Poetry Slam on Sept. 22. This is a chance to share your talent and have a little fun. All NEIU students are welcome, so tell your friends to sign up.  See you at the Slam, David PS: I'm pretty sure I hold the record for recruiting TRIO members. When I meet students who need help, I introduce them to the staff in LIB 412. Why? Because TRIO makes a difference. I know firsthand.
