Words from the SSS staff to the SSS Graduates & Transfers...

To our SSS graduating and or transferring Class of 2013,

First and foremost congratulations!!! You did it; you are

moving on to experience new and exciting opportunities.

My words of wisdom for each one of you are to net-

work early. Make time this summer to visit your future

school (your new home) at least three or four times

before classes begin Fall 2013. Signup and attend your

school’s orientation asap, research the programs and

special services available to you at your new school.

Make your campus “your new home” just like you did

with us at SSS.

I want to thank each one of you for participating in

SSS and for giving me the opportunity to work with you

and get to know you. I will miss you but it is time for

you to move on and continue your journey towards

accomplishing your academic and career goals; suerte y

muchas gracias.

Wishing you the best always,

Martin :)

Dear incredible SSS TRiO graduates

and transfers,

I want to dedicate my favorite quote to

you: "Most people search high and

wide for the key to success. If they

only knew the key to their dream lies

within." --George Washington Carver

You have the KEY!! Congratulations

as you take on the next step in your

incredible journey. We are proud of

you!!!

Howard Willis

Congratulations SSS TRiO Students!
