Hello MC Community
I am writing to provide an important update regarding the Social
Resource Program (SRP), which has been funded through a grant by the
Department of Education and operated via the Student Wellness Center. As you
may be aware, this program has played a vital role in addressing students'
basic needs over the past three years.
Since its inception, the SRP has served over 1,200 students, offering
services and programming in areas such as food security, housing, health
coverage, medical and mental health care, childcare, and legal support. Through
these efforts, we have made a meaningful impact on the lives of our students
and have contributed to their overall academic success and well-being.
As the grant funding concludes on December 31, 2024, I am pleased to
share that the SRP will continue to operate through the end of the 2024/2025
academic year. This extension ensures that students will still have access to
critical support and resources. Referrals for assistance related to basic needs
can be made online through STARFISH or by emailing the staff below. SRP coaches
will remain available on each campus to provide guidance and support. However,
it is important to note that with the conclusion of the grant funding, the
program will no longer be able to provide direct emergency funds to
students. Despite this change, the SRP will maintain its commitment to
connecting students with resources and services that meet their essential
needs.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the SRP and our students. Please feel
free to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information.
