The TRiO Times Student Support Services Summer 2007 Volume 4, Issue 1 Mott Community College Learning Center - TRiO-SSS 1401 East Court Street Flint, MI 48503 (810) 762-5117 v/tty www.mcc.edu/learning/lc_trio.shtml SSS To Move to Prahl Building! The SSS program, along with the entire Learning Center, is scheduled to move into our new home the week of July 16th! As construction nears completion, we will be getting ready for the big move. The Learning Center will occupy the space on the second floor of Prahl, which was formally the ballroom. The ballroom will be relocating to the old Learning Center space in the Library building, with some new renovations. We will try our best to be up and running as soon as possible once our offices are relocated. We are very excited about this move and being able to work closer to our students! We hope this move will make it easier and more convenient for you to stop by and see us while you are on campus. 06-07 Graduates Attend Trip to Orlando Our graduates received an opportunity of a lifetime when they attended the all-expenses paid SSS Graduate Trip to Orlando, Florida June 14th through the 17th. Graduates spent two days at Universal Studios and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and two days at Walt Disney World. They also saw performances by Blue Man Group and Cirque Du Soleil and dined at the House of Blues, Planet Hollywood, and the Hard Rock Café. We could not have asked for better weather and everyone had a great time! Congratulations grads! Have a great Fourth of July holiday!
