TRiO-Student Support Services Staff
Jennifer Luken Sutton
Director
I am a proud UT Arlington alumnus (’04 and ’06) and a product of the TRiO Programs. During high school I participated in the TRiO UB and UBMS programs. I chose to attend UT Arlington after attending the UTA UBMS summer program. My favorite thing about UTA is Oozeball; it's a great tradition (mud volleyball)! I would like to share a quote that inspires me: “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” - unknown
Amy Reece
Educational Specialist
I have worked at UT Arlington since 2003. I am so happy to be a part of the SSS and TRiO team. I really love working with students and I will do everything that I can to support my freshmen and sophomores. My hobbies include crafting, baking and reading. I also enjoy spending time with my family.
Kendall Stephenson
Tutor Coordinator
I am an alum of UT Arlington. At SSS, I assist with scheduling tutoring sessions and help the staff with data entry, office record keeping and maintaining the resource library. Some advice I have for students: Having a successful college career comes from learning about yourself. Once you know yourself, you can take ideas from your courses and apply them to your own life and goals. The more time you invest in learning, the more you'll come to understand about yourself.
Eileen Ferbend
Administrative Assistant
I enjoy spending quality time with my family and close friends. The one thing that I like most about working for SSS is that the students are our first priority. We serve our student participants by providing them with the necessary services and tools they need to be successful at UT Arlington.
