Basic Needs Resource Coordination
Purpose
We believe that when students’ basic needs are met, they can fully engage in their classes, campus life, and future plans. Our Resource Coordinators can connect you with the support and resources to make that possible.
The Basic Needs Collective provides case management support to help students learn about and connect with campus and community resources to help them meet their basic needs.
