Hi, TRIO Achiever,

Best of luck during finals. Say NO to cramming and all-nighters; say YES to a calm, systematic approach to study. Try to eat right and exercise. Now's the time to put into practice the time management skills you learned at our workshops. And don't hesitate to contact your TRIO advisor if you need anything.

Kind regards,

Monica Teixeira, Director

What TRIO members are saying When I returned to school, I didn't expect to get this far--I plan to graduate in the fall of 2016. It hasn't been easy. My father's encouragement and TRIO's support have helped make my dream come true. Math was a big challenge, but thanks to TRIO tutors and workshops, I passed. Soon, I'll be the only member of my family to hold a bachelor's degree.  Victoria Jones, TRIO member Click here to tell your story

What TRIO members are saying I think you should email and meet with your professors before the semester begins. It shows them you're motivated. And it's smart to apply early for financial aid and to attend workshops on how to budget your money. Share your talents by volunteering, because you really can make a difference. Lots of laughter, prayer and living my life with joy and love for others have worked for me. --Lynda Mariani, TRIO member Click here to tell your story

What TRIO members are saying When I transferred, I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of NEIU's main campus. Now when I walk between classes I enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. My advice: attend workshops and get involved in a variety of activities. Build a comfortable relationship with your professors and don't be afraid to ask them and your classmates for help when you need it. --Lorena Aguilar, TRIO member  Click here to tell your story

What TRIO members are saying

When I came to NEIU as a freshman I thought it would be a lonely difficult place. I'm first generation, so college intimidated me. Fortunately, TRIO and my friends helped me overcome my fears, and now I feel comfortable and eager to learn. My advice to be a successful student: communicate often with your professors and turn in assignments on time. And never put homework off until the last minute.
--Sui Sung, TRIO member
