More than 400 TRiO students from all over the state of Kentucky will be coming to Murray State University to participate in TRiO Day on Saturday, February 25.  

Participants at TRiO Day will have the opportunity to hear guest speakers such as Kenny Imes, State Representative and Dr. Anton Reese, President of West Kentucky Community &Technical College. 

Students will participate in scholarly competitions and attend academic workshops as well. 

TRiO alumni are invited to attend.  This is a day of celebration and recognition for the difference TRiO has made in the lives of so many students.
