One critical component of any TRIO program is adequately marketing yourself to your stakeholders. For pre-college programs, this includes the host institution and target schools/area. For collegiate programs the host institution is the primary stakeholder. 

First-Gen Celebrations hosted on campuses and institutions are held each November 8th. This is an excellent opportunity for TRIO programs to spotlight their work. We encourage the use of First-Gen celebrations to make more people aware of the impact of TRIO.
