There are a few service-providing offices at PSU that students should be aware of.  If you need help in deciding which office is the right choice, or if you are looking for other choices, please do not hesitate to ask.  Contact the DACA and make an appointment, or stop by and say hello. If you wish to find out about participating in or planning activities for the DACA, consider this an invitation to get involved.  All are welcome.

Office of Educational Equity Programs and Services

Students who come from backgrounds traditionally under-represented in post-secondary education can find programs and services to increase their access to college, and help improve their success in education through Educational Equity Programs and Services. Programs include both PSU sponsored and TRIO (U.S. Department of Education) programs.  Student Support Services is part of TRIO, a group of federally-funded programs in existence since the Johnson Administration of the 1960's.  Eligible students are low-income, minorities, have a physical, psychological, or learning disabilities, and/or those whose are first generation college students.
