TRIO SSS Student Testimonials
Daniel, Psychology AA-T
My participation and experience in the TRIO SSS program have been exceptional and I have been fortunate for their mentorship in reaching my own educational goals to succeed in my college journey while the goal is obtaining a Bachelor's/master's degree. As a first-generation college student, the TRIO program has been instrumental in helping me navigate the challenges of higher education like workload and being low income and has provided me with invaluable support, resources, transfer information, and mentorship. When I first started at LACC, I didn't know what was going to be expected with classes and my professors. But down the road, I had the opportunity to build networking connections with new friends, programs, and professors, and attend office hours if I need help while receiving the Dean Honors recognition for my success at LACC. I am super blessed to have a program like TRIO to support me in my journey to figure out a path for not just the present but for the future. The TRIO program has not only encouraged me to stay motivated and focused but has also equipped me with the necessary tools to succeed in my academic endeavors.

My name is Zoriana. I am going to graduate in Spring 2027. I feel very lucky to be involved in this program as I find its members’ guidance and support very helpful on the way to my goals. The program counselors and specialists always provide students, with lots of valuable information, which is of great interest for those who plan to transfer. Each time I need a piece of advice or assistance on my educational pathway, I get it right away. Their encouragement and support raise my self-confidence and boost my success. Thanks to TRIO SSS program representatives, I hope to successfully accomplish my study at LACC and reach further academic objectives.
