WSU Communication Upward Bound students Dawn and Leila have advanced to the top seven in a national TRIO Quest competition. The purpose of the contest is to create a video supporting TRIO programs by sharing information about TRIO or demonstrating the impact TRIO programs have on their participants. The final winner will be determined by a public vote on YouTube. The voting deadline for the "People's Choice Award" is Friday, Feb. 5. Please take the time to support our students by rating their video entry "What is TRIO?"
