A small act of kindness can have a huge impact on the life of an º£½ÇÉçÇø student.ÌýHere are just some of the ways your support is helping our Roadrunners:

  • Rowdy’s Corner Food PantryÌý–ÌýThe Student Care Center helps fight hunger and food insecurity at º£½ÇÉçÇø byÌýmeeting the nutritional needs ofÌýhundreds of hungry students every semester.ÌýLast academic year,Ìýthe food pantry servedÌý1,335 students.Ìý
  • Student Emergency FundÌý–ÌýLast year,Ìýour students submitted over 350 applications requesting emergency support. Your generosity allows º£½ÇÉçÇø to provide emergency stipends to students dealing with an unanticipated life event that might otherwise cause them to stop or pause their educational goals.
  • DREAMer Emergency FundÌý–ÌýThis fund was created toÌýprovide direct relief grants to our DREAMer students experiencingÌýfinancial needs. Because of the support of our donors,Ìý12 students were awarded $11,750Ìýfrom the fund this summer.

Get ready to show your Roadrunner pride down to your toes this fall by making a gift during Socktober, and together, we can ensure º£½ÇÉçÇø students have the resources they need to rise and reimagine a future where anything is possible.
