BASIC NEEDS ADVOCATE
|
A very timely workshop will be conducted for UCI staff and faculty on October 17 at 9:00 am – 12:00 pm addressing food insecurity among UCI students. It would be great if UCI Libraries were represented in this workshop. Attendance is free and includes lunch! RSVP: bit.ly/BasicNeedsAdvocate. Please consider attending. Below is the invitation from Student Affairs.
| When students’ most basic needs are not met, it’s hard for them to function, let alone learn. The university’s latest student-experience surveys show that 44% of undergraduates and 25% of graduate students across UC campuses have reported experiencing “food insecurity.” Furthermore, 5-8% of all students have experienced homelessness at some point during their time at a UC.Join this training to learn about basic needs research, our UC systemwide efforts and statistics, and the campus resources available to support our students thrive at UCI.
