CSU's TRIO Student Support Services program hosted its annual graduation on May 2 when first-generation graduates celebrated with family and friends graduating from Cleveland State University.
The TRIO/SSS Program is designed to help first-generation college and/or low-income students progress toward graduation. TRIO/SSS provides opportunities for academic development, assistance with college requirements, and the motivation and support needed to complete a college degree.
This year's Keynote speakers were CSU's Campus 411 administrative assistant and 2024 graduate Koya Ball, and Blue Streak Consultants principal consultant George Sample. The event was held ahead of CSU's spring 2024 Commencement on May 11.
