It was great to see how the aviation industry is taking flight in NC, including what @ForsythTechCC is doing to prepare students for new jobs coming to our state! When we invest in our community colleges, we’re building a stronger workforce and economy. wxii12.com/article/forsyth-t…

This week at Forsyth Tech, we celebrated two powerful TRIO milestones: our Student Support Services Recognition Ceremony and our Upward Bound Graduation. These students are proof that when we invest in potential, we change lives. 🎓 #TRIOWorks #StudentSuccess #ForsythTech 🧵

4 "TRIO Upward Bound has helped me with many things. They have let me obtain opportunities that I wouldn't have normally . . . They gave me another reason to make it through the school year . . . They've let us do activities that help other people and give us a sense of accomplishment as it makes us feel we changed a few people's days. It's a great program that changed my high school days and possibly future, I highly recommend any student join TRIO Upward Bound." Kevin Hernandez-Chales

2 But here’s the truth: Federal funding for TRIO, Federal Work-Study, SEOG, and CCAMPIS is on the chopping block. These aren’t just budget lines. They’re campus jobs, childcare for student-parents, and college access for students like me. #InvestInEducation

What a great start to @SXSWEDU 2025!
