Meet our Leaders
Our learning group 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 Learning Group. The Learning Group sessions take place at the Campus Center for Equity and Diversity (CCED) building.
We are here to help YU!
