Jasmine: “We had a space in Milledge Hall kind of given to us, where we could go there and study and do different things. Freshman year we had a grand opening for that, that was a big thing I remember that we had a special location for us."
Jasmine: “They had these programs, it would be kind of like a workshop where we would learn about budgeting or have people come in from FASFA where they would walk through with us step by step filling out our financial aid, those workshops were definitely my favorite.”
Vivian: (17:25 – 17:40) “I’ve gone to tutoring, I’ve gone to Care, I’ve received academic coaching. I’ve also gone to some of their student success workshops which were really helpful for me.”

Jasmine: "I received an e-mail from TRIO saying (“You are receiving this because you are a recipient of the Pell Grant”) I was really excited about that and I applied..”
