My title is "Retention Advisor" for a TRiO grant at a community college. We in TRiO serve students who have a disability, are low income, and/or are first generation. I help them with degree and career planning, finding local resources for housing, transportation, etc., scholarships and federal financial aid, and exposing them to cultural events like plays and musicals. Sometimes I have to act as counselor too, though I'm really more an advisor than counselor. My hubby works in higher ed too. He is a professor of Music and First Year Experience. His title is "Resident Master", meaning he has programming duties along with the teaching. We live in with the students as well, in the residence hall. We're also parents to our daughter, who is six. She'll soon start 1st grade. This summer we're busy chauffering her to dance, gymnastics, and swimming.
