Welcome back to another exciting academic year, filled with great events, programs, and activities for the TRIO/Student Support Services students at Southeastern Illinois College. Virtual programming quickly evolved to normal practices a few years ago. I expect a great 2024 – 2025 academic year for our new and returning SSS students as we are now having more in person events, activities, and trips.We will continue to provide a variety of new and creative events/activities and we hope that you all will actively participate. Our staff is prepared to bring various activities, workshops and excitement to the TRIO program for the 2024 - 2025 academic year.
Our TRIO Lab is located in the Student Success Center Room A-153. Please continue to utilize our TRIO lab by setting up appointments and/or stopping in to print your papers or assignments. We had a great Cultural Trip to St. Louis, Missouri in September and we will have a proposed merged Campus and Cultural trip to Chicago in March. We will continue to process ideas to fit the needs of our students for this year.
It is important to update any contact information with us as soon as possible and check your email account often for program updates. If you have not joined our REMIND 101 text program, please do so immediately. Also like/follow us on all social media cites and on the SIC Webpage. The Supplemental Grant Aid Scholarship program will continue this year so be sure to let the SSS staff know if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to assisting you this semester.
Please note that you are obligated to participate in events and activities if you have plans to receive the Supplemental Grant Aid Scholarship. We will continue to offer the online module units for activities to ensure that you complete the requirements for the scholarship. There are many deadlines and criteria that students must follow so be sure to view that information. Join a SIC Club/Activity so that you can build your networking skills, travel with us to our campus visits/cultural trip, attend the workshops, and/or complete the online modules for this 2024 – 2025 academic year.
If you have any questions, feel free to stop by my office in the A-143, call 618-252-5400 ext. 2432 or email me at lolita.mack@sic.edu.
