TRIO Student Support Services Spotlight

TRIO has been really supportive…I was afraid when I came to ASU, thinking I wasn’t going to get the help I needed. But they have been so supporting and wonderful. Every time I need to talk to my counselor Jay, he is always there, or anybody else — they always support me.
