Friends of
TRIO gather
for awards,
conference
Representatives of the high
schools, colleges, and other insti-
tutions involved in state TRIO
programs gathered recently at
Delaware Tech, Owens Campus,
to celebrate their successes and
prepare for the demands of the
21 st century.
TRIO programs focus on help-
ing disadvantaged students enter
and successfully complete col-
lege. TRIO services may include
personal, financial, and career
counseling; workplace and col-
lege visits; assistance in applying
to colleges and for financial aid;
special instruction in specific ar-
eas, and more.
During the awards ceremony,
Rep. Michael N. Castle, U.S.
House of Representatives, re-
ceived a Friends of TRIO Award
for his support of TRIO programs
on the national and state levels.
Castle could not attend the confer-
ence; he was in Washington, D.C.
working on an appropriations bill
that included an 18 percent in-
crease in federal funding for
TRIO programs.

and provide tutoring and support
services once they reach campus.
I'm proud to be a part of these ef-

ences and interests they serve.

Thinking of going
back to college?
UD is here for you.
Here's one student's story:
"It is tough juggling career, family, and studies, and it has been overwhelming at
moments. But my studies have enhanced many discussions around the dinner table
about current events or history or literature, and my class deadlines have made me a
better time manager with all the issues of my life. My need to study has helped
inspire my two teenage sons to be better students and has made them value
education because they see Dad having to crack the books as well.
"1 am the senior pastor of a church of 800 people and have to speak and write on a
wide variety of subjects as well as communicate with staff members. The Bachelor of
Arts in Liberal Studies degree gives me a diverse perspective that serves me well as a
communicator, and has given me a broader understanding of the world I function in.
I hope to be a more effective speaker and communicator as well as a more informed
administrator."
Danny Tice takes University of Delaware courses in Georgetown and plans to
complete a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies in 2001. He has been a recipient of the
Evelyn Glazebrook scholarship for outstanding Continuing Education students.
