TRIO SALUTE

Federal TRiO Programs The Federal TRIO Programs are educational opportunity outreach programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds. TRIO includes six outreach and support programs targeted to serve and assist low-income, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs. TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects and a dissemination partnership program to encourage the replication or adaptation of successful practices of TRIO projects at institutions and agencies that do not have TRIO grants.

They come into our programs, but due to circumstances, they don’t stay. There is a saying, “when in Rome, do as the Romans”. This holds true when you are working with middle and high school students. We have to need students where they are, and then take them where we want them to be. Attendees at this workshop will be taught ways to incorporate music, current events and country know-how into instruction that will have students lining up at the door.

Who knows, knowledge of his show may just net you some prizes. Session D2 Location: Bermuda Presentation Title: THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!

PEOPLE, PURPOSE, PASSION Workshops - Session E 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Session E1 Location: Bermuda Presentation Title: FACEBOOK, TWITTER & INSTAGRAM INFUSING SOCIAL MEDIA INTO YOUR PROGRAM Presenter: Kenneth J. Stallings, Coordinator, Upward Bound, Atlanta Metropolitan College Moderator: Chardonnay Watson, UB, Atlanta Metropolitan College Target Audience: All Programs * All Professionals Description: The average information seeker conducts dozens of searches per day and rather than listen to a [recruiter]...many find it easier to find information by searching on their smart phone or tablet. Online platforms and social media give organizations the opportunity to engage directly with current or future customers, in our case current or future students. If you are able to effectively harness the power of social media you can attract students instead of chasing after them. Come to this workshop to find out how to meet your students and potential students where they are...On Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Moderator: Juwan Watson, SSS, Jacksonville University Target Audience: All Programs * All Professionals Description: Research over the last two decades has shown emotional intelligence is likely the single most powerful success factor that is underutilized — affecting everything from job performance, annual income and satisfaction in life. Emotional intelligence when used in conjunction with time management, decision-making, communications and other critical skills has been found to be the essential element that accelerates success. It’s not wonder emotional intelligence is responsible for 58% of performance in every area of employment and is the single greatest driver of leadership, conflict management and personal excellence.
