The Basic Needs Series includes 4 presentations and will culminate with a live educator training. In this first presentation, we explore what are essential/basic needs, how lack of basic needs impacts student success, what resources are available to advisors, faculty, and students, and initiatives for the future. The Basic Needs Series is open to anyone that works directly with students and is interested in learning more about basic needs and resources that support students that may be experiencing food, housing, financial, and mental health concerns.
Upon completion of this learning experience participants will be able to:
- Have a clearer understanding of what basic needs are.
- Know a variety of different resources that are available at MSU.
- Understand how to refer students to resources that support students in meeting their basic needs.
