Passionate about helping first-generation students succeed? Join the TRIO Student Support Services team. The team is looking for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships with students while also leading the tutoring program.

As the tutor coordinator, you’ll recruit, train, supervise and evaluate tutors; and as an academic advisor, you’ll help SSS participants navigate their college experience through academic, career and financial literacy advising.

Beyond advising and tutor coordination, this position is essential in maintaining the integrity of the federally funded grant through recruitment, documentation and reporting, and program operations. If you have experience in working with tutors, academic advising, TRIO or other grant-funded programs, enjoy presenting to groups and are passionate about creating opportunities for underserved students, TRIO SSS would love to hear from you.

Join the TRIO Student Support Services staff and participants as they kick off the fall 2024 semester with a workshop facilitated and presented by the SSS executive director, Dr. Linda F. Rhone, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 in 141 Woolsey Hall, Fidelity Bank Ballroom.

Dr. Rhone will debut her memoir and present on the topic of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Resilience. Dr. Rhone will share how the ACEs affected her throughout her life and how resilience led her in her journey to healing. Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-18 years). Examples include (but are not limited to): experiencing violence, abuse or neglect; witnessing violence in the home or community; having a family member attempt or die by suicide; and/or growing up in a household with substance abuse and mental health issues.

Dr. Rhone will read excerpts from her memoir, share resources for learning more about ACEs and will also share resources that will connect students with campus and community support for helping to reduce the effects of ACEs. The campus community and surrounding area Wichita community is also invited to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.
