Meg Stephenson, EOC Project Director, Idaho TRiO EOC
(208) 364-9925
Meg’s role as EOC Director daily reminds her that the practice of “education” offers a seemingly endless array of challenges. “I continually meet adults who astonish me with their unique situations, their unmet needs or their inventive resourcefulness.” Her master's degree in Adult Education from the University of Idaho has proven to be a good fit within this arena. Her daily interactions with people underscore the tough situations that marginalized, low-income adults face when considering going back to school. But, with persistence and support, the opportunity for school success becomes a shared goal and a true achievement.
