PAST VIRTUAL EVENTS

I was by myself. I was a lone wolf and never had been part of a lasting community, but EGD has connected me with others. These connections, along with the community's friendliness and openness to different opinions and backgrounds, have allowed me to have the experiences necessary to build into where I am. My intership is essencially my full-time job now, and I wouldn't have been able to do it if not for the people at EGD. Oshin Tudayan, Marketing Assistant, LBCC.

SUPPORT SERVICE 

COORDINATORS

Over 60% of students at colleges and universities experience some form of food insecurity, housing insecurity, or homelessness. 1 in 3 have been "too depressed to function". 89% of low-income first-generation students leave college without a degree. 1 in 5 students are parenting a child. 

​

Our SSCs can help you with a range of needs - such as applying for FAFSA, SNAP benefits, unemployment, or other assistance programs, contacting campus offices (Financial Aid, disability accommodations, counseling, campus security, academic advising), and locating food pantries, emergency housing, or mental health services. College is rough. We've got your back.
