ABOUT THE LOCATION

The TriO director manages the strategic development, implementation and execution of new and existing student support services within the Tech Opportunities Program (TOP), a federally funded TRiO program by Oregon Techs. TOP is designed to support the academic success of first generation students, low income students and/or students with disabilities who demonstrate an academic need. TOP’s mission is to significantly increase student achievement, retention, and graduation rates.

The director is responsible for implementing the programs’ operational plan and monitoring program performance as outlined in the grant. The director is also responsible for complying with federal grant requirements and regulations.

The Director works closely with Disability Services (DS), Career Services, and other campus departments to provide information and contacts to prospective students, parents, other educational and rehabilitation entities. In addition, the Director provides training and counseling to undergraduate students, faculty, and staff on issues related to support services and the retention of underrepresented students, especially those participating in the TOP program. In addition, the Director conducts program evaluations and service changes for TOP to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the programs. Finally, the Director ensures that services are provided in line with ethical and legal standards, including maintaining confidential student records, adhering to grant regulations, and best practices for a similar TRiO program.
