Student Success and Retention Conference 2025

Join the Oregon TRIO Association for an engaging session that highlights the transformative impact of federally funded TRIO programs on student success. Participants will gain insight into the diverse TRIO initiatives that empower low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students to achieve their college dreams. Learn how communities across Oregon have effectively leveraged these programs to expand funding and provide critical college access and completion services. Whether you're an educator, community leader, or advocate, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to strengthen educational opportunities and maximize federal support for underserved students in your region.

Community colleges offer an array of different programs for students young and old. It is important that recruitment techniques are as diverse and adaptable as the students they serve. In this session, we will share recruiting strategies that have been successful at Rogue Community College for adult learners and high school students. We will discuss how we adapted our materials, events and partnerships to meet the changing needs of our student population.
