TRIO/STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally-funded TRIO program that provides opportunities for academic development, assists students in meeting basic college requirements, and serves to motivate students towards the successful completion of their post-secondary education. SSS seeks to close the opportunity and achievement gap and increase the retention and graduation rates of underserved and under-represented students.
The SSS Program is for incoming and current UNM Gallup student who need and require our services to be successful at UNM Gallup. We are here to help you develop a personalized educational plan and career exploration. The SSS Staff serves as advocates, navigators, supporters, and resources to our students. Other opportunities we offer aside from our supportive staff and services- we host various workshops, guest speakers, invite scholarship representatives, fun group activities and community service.
