Good afternoon. As some of you know, Vince resigned as SMCC's TRIO Director in December, and I have been appointed to his position. Steve Visco kindly added me to this listserv so I could introduce myself. I have heard great things about the Maine TRIO team, and am excited to be a part of it. I have a long background in higher ed in both the classroom and in student support services, most recently as part of two DOL grants. I look forward to benefiting from your collective and individual expertise, and thank you in advance for your help as I learn the TRIO ropes. Take care.
