Amy Fisher University of North Dakota Amy Fisher participated in UND’s Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) program from June 2005 to May 2010.  The EOC program helped Amy to get admitted to UND where she earned a Social Work degree, despite the difficulties of being an older than average student with family responsibilities.  Amy now lives in Buxton, ND and has worked as a social worker in Grand Forks since June 2009. “When I walked into the TRIO office in 2005 I was so scared. I wanted to go to college but had no idea how to do it, and I didn’t think I COULD do it. Derek helped me get started and guided me through my whole UND experience. Being an older than average student was hard, but with the help of TRIO I graduated in May of 2009 with my Social Work degree and now work as a Social Worker/Case Manager. Thanks TRIO for all your understanding and help!”
