Triton College’s TRIUMPH & SURGE Program empowers students to achieve academic success and thrive in life. Through mentoring, coaching, career development and personal support, TRIUMPH & SURGE goes beyond academics to help students overcome challenges, reach their goals and build a brighter future.  TRIUMPH (Transforming and Impacting Undergraduate Men Pursuing Higher Education) & SURGE (Sisterhood of Undergraduate Representing Great Excellence), provides opportunities for young men and women students to succeed both in college and beyond.  Launched in 2015 with TRIUMPH for men of color and expanded in 2017 with SURGE for women of color, the two programs combined in 2023 to create a more inclusive community. Today, TRIUMPH & SURGE welcomes all Triton College students, including those from the General Education Development (GED) and Workforce Equity Initiative (WEI) programs.  TRIUMPH & SURGE also offers a robust mentoring program that matches students with mentors who share similar backgrounds. Other activities include cultural events in partnership with Student Life, like “Food for the Soul” for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month festivities. TRIUMPH & SURGE is accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year. Visit triton.edu/students/triumph-and-surge for more information.
