Thank you to all the students, families, friends, and Lourdes

administration, faculty, and staff that came together to celebrate our

21st Annual TRiO Leadership and Recognition Awards Banquet.

This is always one of the highlights of the academic year, a time when

we come together to recognize and celebrate the many

accomplishments of our students. This year was made even sweeter

because it is the 50th Anniversary of TRiO Student Support Services.

As Spring Semester has flown by, I want to say what a pleasure it has

been to work with all of you this year. It seems as if it was just August

and we were welcoming our TRiO Bridge/ARCHES students to campus.

Now, it’s already the end of the semester with finals next week! Please

remember to take care of yourselves, rest, eat well, and be sure to

de-stress in our Relaxation Space. This year we’ve added a few

surprises!...

Finally, to our TRiO students who will be graduating, we wish you

the greatest of success and are so happy to have assisted you in your

journey through the university. It truly has been a pleasure to have

served each of you these past years!

The world population has now reached 7.5 billion people. This milestone inspired us to conduct research to update our

statistics in 2016, and the changes over the past 10 years are remarkable. In 2006, only 1 person out of 100 would have had a college education-- today that number has jumped to 7. The detailed research and source information can be found here and

the statistics provided by Donella Meadows in 1990 that originally inspired our project can be viewed here.

If the World were 100 PEOPLE:

50 would be female

50 would be male

25 would be children

There would be 75 adults, 9 of whom would be 65 and older

There would be:

60 Asians

16 Africans 14 people from the Americas

10 Europeans

31 Christians

23 Muslims 16 people who would not be aligned with a religion

15 Hindus 7 Buddhists

8 people who practice other religions

12 would speak Chinese

6 would speak Spanish 5 would speak English

4 would speak Hindi 3 would speak Arabic

3 would speak Bengali

3 would speak Portuguese 2 would speak Russian

2 would speak Japanese 60 would speak other languages

86 would be able to read and write; 14 would not

7 would have a college degree 40 would have an Internet connection

78 people would have a place to shelter them

from the wind and the rain, but 22 would not

1 would be dying of starvation

11 would be undernourished 22 would be overweight

91 would have access to safe drinking water 9 people would have no clean, safe water to drink

20 Surprising Statistics about College Students ~Lynn O’Shaughnessy

(9.4 percent of all college students attend community college in California. This is not a typo!)

1. While 347,985 students earned business degrees in 2009, only 15,496 grads walked away with a degree in mathemat-

ics. I find that sad.

2. One of the fastest growing degrees is in park, recreation, leisure, and fitness studies. During a 10-year period, the num-

ber of students earning degrees in this major (31,667) jumped 92 percent.

3. Among common majors, education experienced the biggest drop in interest among undergrads. In a 10-year period, the

number of students earning an education degree declined 5 percent.

4. Only 0.4 percent of undergraduates attend one of the Ivy League schools. This confirms my long-held belief that way too much attention is paid to these eight institutions.

5. Twenty three percent of full-time undergrads, who are 24 or younger, work 20 hours or more a week.

6. Asian students (12 percent) are the least likely to work 20 or more hours a week.

7. About 9 percent of students attend flagship universities and other state institutions that conduct intensive research.

8. Seventy three percent of students attend all types of public colleges and universities.

9. Just 16 percent of students attend private nonprofit colleges and universities.

10. The annual family income of more than 47 percent of undergraduates is less than $40,000.

11. The annual household income of 4.5 percent of undergrads is at least $160,000.

12. Nineteen percent of college freshmen hope to earn a Ph.D., and 10.2 percent would like to become a medical doctor.

13. Among freshmen, 21.7 percent are conservative and 27.3 percent are liberal.

14. During a 10-year span ending in 2009, undergraduate enrollment has jumped 38 percent, with some of the highest

growth occurring in Arizona (149 percent), Georgia (77 percent), West Virginia (56 percent), and Florida (54 percent).

15. Less than one third of Americans hold at least a bachelor’s degree, but at least 30 percent of adults in 16 states—mostly on the coasts—have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. The three interior states among the 16 are Utah, Illinois, and

Minnesota.

16. Between 1999 and 2009, undergrad enrollment at for-profit schools soared 539 percent compared with 32 percent for

public institutions.

17. The largest state university in the country is Arizona State University in Tempe. The largest nonprofit private

university is New York University.

18. About 3 percent of all undergrads are veterans and 1 percent are on active military duty or in the reserves.

19. Twenty percent of all first-time undergraduates take at least one remedial course.

20. Nationwide the number of high school graduates is expected to grow 10 percent in the next 10 years. The northeastern

states will experience declines in growth, while high school grads will grow by 24 percent in both Texas and Florida.

Student Article by Asia Moore, TRiO Lead Peer Mentor

At the beginning of the semester I shared some of my goals that I wanted to accomplish as a TRiO Lead Mentor. I feel that I have accomplished some of my goals, but not all of them. The goals I have not reached yet, will be my goals for the coming school year.

This semester I have created a life skills seminar series where students can come and learn about cooking/cleaning skills, conflict resolution strategies, public speaking tips, organization & time management skills, etc. Not only did the students who attended these seminars learn something new, I also learned something new each time I presented. I believe the life skills seminars are so important for personal and academic growth, and I plan to do them again next year with different topics.

Another goal as a mentor was to get TRiO students more involved in having conversations with their peers, so I facilitated a student lead discussion with TRiO students to discuss the different issues college students face. It was an insightful discussion because it is helpful to get feedback from your peers on issues that you think only you would understand.

I also hope to do this discussion again with students to get the conversation flowing. We will end this semester with one last ‘Snacks & Seminar’ and this one will be about N-Etiquette, which is an important subject every student should learn about. This semester was my first experience being a “full-time” lead mentor and I really enjoyed it because I gained a lot of leadership experience and got to know TRiO Members better.

I hope I will be able to continue being a lead mentor next year, and I will bring more ideas for student activities like I did this semester!

BE the CHANGE

YOU DESIRE!
