Description

There are a great many resources available to community college students to assist them with basic needs barriers to achievement. These resources include assistance with food insecurity, lack of access to technology, housing and transportation, tutoring, mental health, and more. But when these resources are scattered across a campus and not well marketed so that even the community college employees are unaware of the resources, then how can we expect our students to know about and access them. Our college has embarked on a journey to catalog resources, organize and unite the available resources, and develop a marketing and information campaign.
