The TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program at Saint Peter’s University hosted a First-Year Town Hall Meeting for the Class of 2028 on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. The event served as an opportunity to update students on upcoming events, available resources, and academic support services.

During the meeting, students received guidance on scheduling tutoring sessions through the Writing Studio (Writing Studio) and the PeacockSuccess by Optimizing Data and Support (PODS) Project. These resources aim to enhance students’ academic success by providing tailored support in writing and other subject areas.

ANY addresses the professional development gap for first-generation college students by providing mentorship, career development training, and access to professional networks, ultimately improving career outcomes for participants.
