A testimonial image featuring a photo of Jerardo Garcia with a yellow background. The testimonial text reads: This is my first year at WSU after transferring and TRIO has helped make the transition less stressful. The monthly advising keeps me organized and on top of my work, helping me maintain my 4.0 GPA. It can be hard managing school life and regular life, but TRIO’S resources, such as their seminars, are a big assistance. TRIO also provides materials like textbooks and printing that help me save for other school expenses. I am glad to be part of TRIO and am grateful for all the help they have given me! The text includes his name, Jerardo Garcia, and states that the testimonial is from Spring 2025. The WSU TRIO logo is also visible.
