Academic/Professional Background
My name is Eduardo Alonso;
my major is Public Service and Public Policy (Emergency
Management and Homeland Security) with a minor in Criminology and Criminal
Justice. I currently work on ASU campus in a program called TRIO Student
Support Services. This is a federally funded program targeted to help
low-income/first generation college students be successful throughout their
college career.
Personal Background
I was born and raised in Los Angeles,
California. As a first generation college student it is very important for me
to set a positive example for my younger brother and in a future I would like
to be able to guide him through his college experience, something that I feel I
needed my freshman year in college.
Internship Goals
- Familiarize myself with policies and federal regulations that impact the services of the program I am interning with.
- Engage with TRIO student to get an insight of the programs’ impact from a student perspective.
- Help with the planning of cultural events for students in the TRIO program.
