About the Basic Needs Collective

The Basic Needs Collective (BNC) acts as a one-stop shop, connecting students to essential information related to food and housing security, health insurance, finances, legal services, mental health, and tools for academic success, among other things. The collective is made up of U staff from partner departments across campus who collaborate to provide solutions to the problems students face.

Mission

With the understanding that wellness is a key to student success, we strive to make the resources students need accessible to them.

Process

We provide a central location for support through a coordinated information exchange grounded in campus and community partnerships.

Vision

We hope to de-stigmatize need and promote interdependence to reduce barriers to student development and success in college and beyond.
