In the News: Alumna credits TRiO programs and former director Rengiil for guiding her to college, graduation
"As UOG kicks off its 70th anniversary celebration this week, I鈥檓 reminded that if it weren鈥檛 for Mr. Yoichi K. Rengiil or TRiO programs, there would be thousands who couldn鈥檛 boast of being a Triton alum, myself included. [...]
It鈥檚 the magic of TRiO to successfully run a program that鈥檚 put dozens of Micronesian kids like me through college, all without aging.
Without Upward Bound, one of the three programs under the TRiO umbrella, I wouldn鈥檛 have known what to do to apply to a college, let alone graduate."
