TRIO Innovation Lab: Tools, Tech, and Strategies for Programmatic and Student Success is a one-day, hands-on professional development experience designed exclusively for TRIO professionals seeking to enhance their program visibility, strengthen service delivery, and expand opportunities for the students they serve. Through four interactive, project-based sessions, participants will learn practical digital tools and strategies to improve marketing materials, incorporate artificial intelligence into everyday program operations, elevate their social media presence, and support students in accessing alternative funding pathways.
Each 75-minute session includes a guided mini-project, enabling participants to walk away with real products such as:
- A polished flyer or presentation
- An AI-generated resource
- Social media content plan
- An alternative funding search toolkit
These tools can be implemented immediately within their TRIO programs. All participants are encouraged to travel with their laptops and smart devices. Lunch will be provided.
This innovation lab equips practitioners with modern approaches that honor TRIO’s mission, increase program impact, and help students navigate an evolving higher education landscape with confidence.
