​

National TRIO Day, established by a congressional resolution on February 24, 1986, celebrates the transformative impact of Federal TRIO programs in communities nationwide. The first TRIO Day was observed on February 28, 1986, to honor the achievements of these programs in supporting disadvantaged youth and adults striving to improve their lives.

​

Today, the TRIO community observes National TRIO Day every year on the fourth Saturday in February. This day serves as a call to action, highlighting the importance of investing in the potential of underrepresented individuals. It’s a moment to celebrate success stories, raise awareness, and advocate for continued opportunities through TRIO programs.

​

This year's TRIO Day Celebration will be hosted by Northeastern Illinois University on February 22nd. REGISTRATION OPEN!​​
