The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi, who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines, and sings about a better life.

Rounding out the TRIO staff is our behind-the-scenes wonder woman, Mallory! Mallory is the Administrative Assistant for both TRIO programs. Without her (and her special wands), we'd have a tough time making all the magic happen. Check out her profile and get to know a little about Mallory.
We are very thankful to have four of our amazing TRIO students work as our Student Support Services office support and programming staff. They also keep us updated on all things social media, campus food hot spots, current topics, and must-see Netflix/Hulu weekend binges.
Check out their staff profiles and get to know a little more about Patrice, Kailah, Nelley, and Sofia.

Today we introduce the new members of our student support/advising team.
Both Steven & Tiera come to us after having worked with other college access programs. We are excited to have them join the VCU TRIO Ramily!
We have added some new faces to the TRIO staff these past few months, so we are taking this week to introduce everyone. Starting off are our two fierce leaders, Chimene Boone & Michelle Bair. Check out their profiles below and get to know them a little better.
