SNACK is a campus-wide effort supported by ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ departments aiming to ensure students have the basic needs support they need to excel both academically and personally. Our SNACK team helps students through identifying resources both on campus and locally to support needs such as housing, food and transportation. Students needing assistance will work with a member of the SNACK team to identify helpful resources.
At ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ, we know that student success is about more than what happens in the classroom. The Student Needs Action Committee (SNACK) helps connect students to resources that support well-being, stability and success. Whether you need help with food, housing, transportation or wellness support, our team is here to help you take the next step.
