Assessment Question and Method

What are the academic needs of TRiO eligible students


when entering their first year at Sandburg?

Hosted 4 Focus Groups


Themes
Community
We have a study group [organized by TRiO] for our bio class and that helps a lot
because if I didn't have that I feel like I wouldn't ever study or ever really care
about learning this stuff but there was also students in there and they felt the
exact same way so we would talk to each other and try to make each other feel
better about it...it helps a lot and I actually feel like I’m learning.

When I started college, I was really skeptical about being


smart enough to do business. And everybody in TRiO never
doubted the fact that, yes, you can do this.

Resources
There's a lot of resources... I never had a question that went unanswered... Or
needed help with something and didn’t it- get that help... if I speak to one person,
they don't have the answer then I’ll go get it from someone else...They’re very
helpful.
- Waffle*
There's a lot of options for
tutoring...if you just use those, it's
pretty easy to be successful and
TRiO gave me information

about scholarships.

Impact of TRiO
You know what I like about TRIO the
most, is those reminders. It feels like
I went to a relatively small high school, so the
they actually care.
counselors and the teachers they would do a

lot more for you than the bare minimum. They
would really go above and beyond for you. I
get that same sense out
I always say how helpful [TRiO is] of the TRiO office.
and how grateful I am that they’re - Marco*

They definitely make sure that they're there
for you.

Strategies of Perseverance
Making yourself better...challenging
yourself. Challenge yourself in classes and
not just taking a bunch of easy classes that
you already know everything...and then
also try to join...clubs you have on campus.
- Barbara*
I found out about a lot of these resources
and strategies through failure. That’s how I
discovered some of these things but
sometimes you have to have a little failure to
get success.
