Graduate School Visitations

TRIO SSS holds Grad Talk Live. This event allows students to connect with a representative from their program and school of interest. Grad Talk Live is flexible, and works with the schedules of TRIO SSS students and the school representative. Sessions typically last about an hour, depending on the information and questions presented at the time.

Additionally, each summer, TRIO SSS attends the SAEOPP/McNair Research Scholars Conference in Atlanta, GA. It is a great opportunity for students to learn more about applying for graduate schools, research, and meeting both peers and graduate administration. 

TRIO SSS students are invited to make individual requests for a campus visitation to their Academic Cousnelor.
