On February 24, 1986, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday, February 28, 1986, should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country.
Yearly since then, the fourth Saturday in February has been deemed National TRIO Day – an opportunity to (re) focus the nation’s “attention on the needs of under served young people and adults aspiring to improve their lives if they are to become contributing citizens of the country, and to the talent which will be wasted if that investment is not made.”
This year, TRIO Day North will be held on February 23, 2019 at Triton College. There will be variety of workshops, activities, a dynamic speaker, and much more! It will also offer opportunities for students at different levels in secondary and post-secondary programs to network and share ideas of life success.
