We will be selecting speakers and professionals who have a deep understanding of the needs of TRIO students in addition to innovative ideas in creating successful programs. Our aim is to provide TRIO staff and administrators sessions that will inspire, inform, and enhance their abilities to serve TRIO students individually and programmatically. Specifically, we are looking for presenters to discuss some of the following: Connecting to and supporting disabled students; Supporting students for post-program experiences; Best practices for record-keeping; Engagement activities for participants; Collaboration practices; FAFSA and scholarships; How to be your best self (professional development, personal development)
