    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.
    - Barbara*

    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.
    - Jennifer*
    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
    achieve your goal of graduating.
    about scholarships.

    - Marco*
    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
    - T-Mobile*
    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*
    here.
    - Jennifer*
    They definitely make sure that they're there
    for you.
    - Spork*
    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.
