Thanks Laurie! I just listened to the program. Senator Collins starts talking about TRIO at the 45 minute mark, just in case you want to "cut to the chase" and not listen to the whole program.

Senator Susan Collins  of Maine was just speaking this afternoon on MPBN's Maine Calling and gave a good explanation of what TRIO programs are and who they serve. She characterized herself as a leader in supporting TRIO Programs and stated that she was working to maintain or even increase TRIO funding.
