Workshops & Events

We offer a variety of workshops and campus visits each semester. Students are also encouraged to attend workshops hosted by other TCC departments. These workshops focus on study skills, time management, stress management, financial aid, scholarship searches, transfer opportunities, leadership, teamwork and other topics that strengthen student persistence. TRIO SSS Students are also invited to attend a variety of cultural events that are scheduled throughout the semester. These events may include trips to museums, performing art functions and more.
