Rindy Crump Named Director of TRIO SSS STEM

Written By: Dr. Blake Johnson

Rindy Crump has been selected as the Director of the TRIO Student Support Services STEM Grant at the University of 香蕉视频APP 鈥� Fort Smith, effective March 19, 2022.

Crump has been a member of the UAFS staff since 2019, when she accepted the position of Retention Advisor for the TRIO SSS Classic program. She has worked in education for many years, holding positions supporting student access and retention. 

Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and honing her skills in cross-cultural communication. 鈥淟earning about people 鈥� their cultural backgrounds, passions, strengths, goals, and fears 鈥� has always been the driving force in my life. This desire to know and understand both the uniqueness and shared commonalities of people led me to spend many years living in Turkey, Germany, and the Netherlands. It directed me to the nursing profession and ultimately brought me to higher education. As the Director of TRIO STEM, I hope to help build a community for our students that is both comfortable and supportive while also pushing them to recognize their excellent potential and expand their horizons.鈥�

UAFS is home to two TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Programs, TRIO Classic and TRIO STEM.
