TRIO National Day of Service
TRIO National Week of Service Schedule
WELCOME!
Each year the UAA TRIO Programs join together to increase public awareness of TRIO, and to thank the community for continued support. Join us in an afternoon of presentations and refreshments in honor of the National TRIO Day of Service at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
Thank you! It is through you and the community's support that we continue to assist thousands of Alaskans in transforming their educational dreams into reality.
