Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute recently held its annual TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Awards Celebration at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center in Lenoir. Students, college officials and community supporters gathered for a reception to pay tribute to the program’s students.
TRIO/SSS provides opportunities to CCC&TI students for academic development, assistance with basic college requirements and motivation toward the successful completion of a post-secondary education.
A total of 40 TRIO/SSS students, representing both CCC&TI campuses, will graduate this spring. As part of the ceremony, students were presented white cords to designate their affiliation with the college’s TRIO program as they march at graduation.
Other awards presented to students included Academic Excellence, Outstanding Personal Growth, Outstanding Persistence and Outstanding Participation and Service.
