Through the sharing of their stories, lessons learned, career advice and live q & a with the audience, students will be inspired to shoot for the stars and navigate a career path destined for success.

By harnessing the benefits of virtual platforms, COE brings the most impactful TRIO alumni directly to your students, helping them see beyond their communities and into the realms of possibility.
