College Goal Sunday West Virginia

College Goal Sunday was an incredible success throughout the state of West Virginia thanks, in part to the many WV TRiO volunteers throughout the state. Angela Holley, Director of the HATS Program and Statewide Coordinator for College Goal Sunday, wishes to thank all of the wonderful TRiO personnel who took time out of their Sunday afternoon and helped over 300 people fill out their FAFSAs. She looks forward to working with everyone again this year to make next year, and the years ahead, even better. Attached you will find the letter she wrote to WV TRiO expressing her gratitude.
