Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute recently held its annual TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Awards Celebration.
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 24 TRIO/SSS students, representing both CCC&TI campuses, will graduate this spring. As part of the awards presentation, students were given 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 Campus Impact, Emerging Leader, Peer Supporter, and Volunteer.
Several CCC&TI faculty and staff members also received “Super Supporter” awards on behalf of students in the program. Super Supporter awards were presented to Emily Roberts, Brooke Elder, Jennifer Campbell, Melodie Yancy, Katy Hoover, Corey Yost, Scot Brown, Deanna Chester, and Laura Wollpert.
TRIO/SSS students who are graduating this spring or transferring to another institution were honored at the ceremony.
