Last week, SSS had a wonderful time exploring Montgomery, Alabama, during fall break!

Our students and staff enjoyed a variety of educational and cultural experiences throughout the city. We visited important Civil Rights landmarks, learned about the site where Rosa Parks’ arrest helped spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and explored the history of the Freedom Riders and their courageous fight against segregation. From visiting the Legacy Sites and taking a ride along the Alabama River to touring Alabama State University, enjoying a historical bus tour, and exploring the Museum of Alabama, our trip was filled with opportunities to learn, reflect, and connect with the past.

Experiences like these remind us of the importance of understanding our history and the individuals who helped shape our nation. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide our students with meaningful educational and cultural experiences beyond the classroom!

Last week, SSS visited the University of South Carolina Columbia!

Many of our students have completed their transfer applications and are hoping to start at USC this spring, so it was great visiting campus. As always, USC provided a comprehensive and interactive tour where our students learned more about campus life, resources, and the many opportunities available to transfer students.

Last week, SSS traveled to Greensboro, NC, to visit North Carolina A&T State University!

Our students explored the beautiful campus while learning about its rich Black history and the legacy of the Greensboro Four, four NC A&T students whose 1960 sit-in helped advance the Civil Rights Movement.

We also got to reconnect with former SSS student Nija Land, who is now attending NC A&T! It was an amazing day of history, connection, and inspiration.

This weekend, TRIO SSS explored Beaufort, South Carolina!

We began the trip with a visit to the University of South Carolina Beaufort, where students learned about the opportunities available to future transfer students.

The adventure continued with a scenic boat tour through a salt marsh, where students learned about the area's unique ecosystem and coastal wildlife. We even got to see a pod of dolphins! We also enjoyed a guided bus tour through historic Beaufort, discovering the city's rich history, charming architecture, and cultural significance.

One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Penn Center, where students learned about Beaufort's important role in Black history and gained a deeper appreciation for the rich traditions, resilience, and heritage of the Gullah Geechee people.

Experiences like these help our students connect classroom learning with real-world history, culture, and future educational opportunities.
