What is WAEOPP
The Wisconsin Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel (WAEOPP) is a consortium of professionals that promotes equal educational opportunity for disadvantaged populations. WAEOPP members are involved in the work of college access and success; they work in roles where their job responsibilities support TRIO or TRIO-eligible students, or professionals who support the work of college access and success.
