The TRIO SSS First Year Experience (FYE)
Our FYE Leaders assist first-year students in making the successful transition to college through academic skills building, integration to campus, leadership development, service learning, and related social events. Two upper-class TRIO SSS/SSS STEM students serve as the leaders for each weekly group. The FYE Group sessions take place in Dempsey Hall every week.
FYE is a required component of TRIO SSS and opens to door to plenty of benefits, including our first year scholarship!
We are here to help YU!
Meet the Leaders
I am a 3rd year student at UWO majoring in Rehabilitation Science within Kinesiology. I plan to continue onto Graduate School to earn a Master’s in Athletic Training.
In my free time, I love to listen to music, go on walks, build Legos, watch movies and sports, and hang out with my family and friends. I am excited to be a TRIO FYE Leader this year and look forward to getting to know everyone!
I’m a fourth-year Social Work major here at UW Oshkosh and am excited to be a returning Leader for the 25-26 year! When I’m not immersed in schoolwork or working with TRIO, you’ll find me outdoors, enjoying hiking, camping, canoeing, and all things nature. I’m also a proud bug enthusiast and plan to raise my own butterflies this spring!
In my downtime, I love playing Minecraft with friends or relaxing with Stardew Valley. I’m a mac and cheese connoisseur and a baking enthusiast, so feel free to chat with me about recipes or your favorite treats!
Looking forward to meeting and growing with you all this school year!
I am a third year Sociology major. I’m involved in multiple campus organizations, including Sociology Club and NAACP. I had the privilege of working with Dr. Heidi Nichols on ethnographic research about freshwater initiatives in Wisconsin.
My name is Amanda and my hometown is Appleton, WI. I am currently in my second year at UWO. I am a Medical Imaging major with a Radiologic Science Emphasis. I am so excited about being a First Year Experience leader this year. TRIO has given me the opportunity to connect with so many people, and I can’t wait to meet even more people. I love helping people in any way that I can, and please never be afraid to reach out, I love answering questions because I had so many questions when I was new. No question is dumb because 9 times out of 10 you aren’t the only one with that question.
When I’m not studying, I enjoy shopping, hanging out with friends, thrifting, and watching TV. Right now, I’m currently watching Bones and The Summer I Turned Pretty (I am Team Conrad in case you were wondering). I am so excited to get to know everyone and my goal this semester is to get to know more people and learn about a resource on campus that I wasn’t aware of before.
Hi I’m Depriest! I am an English Major at UW-Oshkosh and it’s my first year as a TRIO SSS FYE Leader. My favorite animals are cobras.
My name is Emma. I am so excited to work with TRIO SSS FYE this year. Last year, TRIO was so good for me and I made so many new friends. I am a sophomore this year working towards nursing as my major. I love to play piano, go outside, be near water and much more! I have many many animals but I love my kitten the most!! I love to bake as well 🙂 My favorite drink EVER is probably an iced brown sugar chai tea latte from Starbucks.
Hi! I’m a second-year student majoring in Special Education with a minor in American Sign Language. A fun fact about me is that ever since I got home from my very first day of kindergarten, I knew I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher — and now I’m chasing that dream! I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to turn that childhood goal into a reality.
When I’m not studying or working, I love cooking and baking, getting lost in a good book, spending time outdoors, hanging out with animals, or rewatching my favorite comfort shows.
I’m super excited to support first-generation students as they navigate college life and help them feel confident and equipped to thrive here at UWO!
I am a 2nd year Pre-Nursing student, and I hope to work in an ER/Trauma center once I graduate and maybe return to studies to become an NP. As a Leader, I am excited to get to know everyone and help them in their journey through college.
When I’m not studying, I like to meet up with friends and family, play video games, play pickleball, and hike. I have traveled a lot growing up, but I would love to one day go to Europe, specifically Norway, Germany, and Italy.
I’m studying Elementary Education with a French minor, and I’m hoping to teach 2nd to 4th grade—maybe even some French too! I love drawing, hanging out with friends, and going on walks. I’m really excited to meet new people and build some great connections along the way!
Heyo, I’m Trent – a second year graphic design major at UWO. This is my first year as a TRIO SSS First Year Experience Leader. My favorite animals are moths.
