Student Spotlight
SHANNA'S LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE

As a nontraditional, first-generation student, the TRIO Ronald E. McNair Program at ETSU introduced Shanna to resources and opportunities she’d never had access to before. 

TRIO programs have helped me evolve from a cloistered caregiver, uncertain and confused about all things academic, to a competent student actively connected to my campus and my community."

“Involvement with TRIO has helped me become a more capable, well-rounded, and frankly, happier human.”
