Dear MEEOA Community,



After much soul searching, it is with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to
leave the TRIO community. As some may know, I’ve been with UMPI’s TRIO
Upward Bound Program for fourteen years! Being a TRIO alumnus and having
the ability to work with our TRIO students shaped me into who I am and will
continue to as I venture into my next adventure.



I will cherish the memories I’ve had with you! The professional development
opportunities, playing an integral role in the various MEEOA committees was
a great opportunity to get to know you, not only professionally, but
personally as well.



Although excited and ready to move forward it’s important for me to
recognize how my time with TRIO afforded me the opportunity to grow and
prepare me for the next chapter in my life.



The importance of TRIO is undeniable! The relationships we have, not only
with our students, but with one another are so important! My next adventure
will afford me the opportunity to stay connected with high school students
and UMPI’s TRIO Programs – so not all is lost! Our paths will cross again!



With much appreciation, respect, and gratitude, this is not goodbye! TRIO
Works will always be my motto!



Take care and be well –





Rene
