Check out another great success story from your Connors State College TRiO SSS graduates!

#𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙤𝙛𝙏𝙍𝙄𝙊: 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥 🏀

"With the guidance and mentorship from TRIO/SSS, I was able to realize my possibilities. I knew what I could do, and they believed in me. TRIO/SSS helped me get to where I am today."

, Keegan Shipp graduated in May of 2024 and is now making a direct impact as both a paraprofessional TA and assistant basketball coach at Tulsa Memorial High School.

Through mentorship, career guidance, and a strong support network, TRIO helped Keegan discover his potential and provided the foundation for his success in education and athletics. But Keegan's story doesn't end with his own achievement—he's paying it forward.

Every day, Keegan supports students in the classroom and on the court, just as TRIO supported him. He's living proof that TRIO creates leaders who lift others up.
