This training was one of the most helpful trainings I have attended. They helped solve practical matters, were friendly, caring and had an enormous amount of advice and resources as well as templates and example forms. I have accomplished an unimaginable amount because of their structured manual.  Attend this if you care about your program!!!!!

Please give yourself and your staff a wonderful round of applause. You guys did such an awesome job with the training. It is the best TRiO training that I have ever attended. Anyhow, everything was just great and I would love to be put on an email list for future trainings.

This process of review and self-assessment forced us to take a global view of the program and its components as well as focusing the details of documentation, day to day operations and complimentary roles within the program.  The peer review process proved to be the single most beneficial training that served all members of the Success at Southern team, from university administrators to students.

While we always strive to provide the best services possible for our students, it is sometimes difficult to 'see the forest through the trees'.  Having your team review our project from an outside, objective view allowed us to see the areas for improvement that might otherwise have been neglected.

The Peer Monitoring and Site Review was the single most helpful process my staff and I have participated in.  The most beneficial information included suggestion/recommendations on how to complete the Annual and Interim Performance Reports simply and clearly; tracking of TRIO students throughout their tenure at LCC; ideas for compiling back-up information/clarification about disability documentation in participant files.  There was no part of the Peer Review Process that was not beneficial.  I would strongly recommend (and have made recommendation to colleagues) that all new programs have the opportunity to participate in the Peer Monitoring Process.

If the BBCC SSS program is now selected for a federal site review, my staff and I will be able to prepare for it with confidence instead of trepidation.
