Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ College Survival Guide

The College Survival Guide is a recurring feature that directs members of the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ community to free resources and support for whatever challenges they may be facing. At Âé¶¹Ö±²¥, no Hawk has to fly alone.

NOT SURE YOU CAN AFFORD GROCERIES? It’s hard to focus on your studies and your goals when you’re not sure where your next meal is coming from. Âé¶¹Ö±²¥’s Hawk Pantry is available on all four campuses for students experiencing food insecurity. Any current Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ student or employee in need can receive up to 30 pounds of food per week, at zero cost and with complete confidentiality.
