Food Resources

This semester, in lieu of our onsite food pantry, the Feed the Bears program is continuing to partner with the Redwood Empire Food Bank (REFB) to provide monthly food distributions on our Santa Rosa campus. In addition to dried goods and fresh produce, currently enrolled students receive a $50 grocery gift card, while supplies last. See Curbside events for more information.

 

Laptops, Calculators, Hotspots, & Books

Now more than ever, access to technology is critical to student success. Thanks to the SRJC Foundation and Instructional Computing, the SRJC Libraries have more than tripled their supply of laptops and added hundreds of hot spots too! The library has also revised its popular Textbook on Reserve program to extend loans through the semester and continues to loan T-84 and T-89 calculators. Supplies are limited. For details on the library programs, visit their Remote Services Guide.

 

Student Health Services: Body & Mind

The current pandemic has health on everyone’s mind, and many students are experiencing increased anxiety, isolation/loneliness, sadness, grief, and family and other relationship issues.  During the remote fall semester, students can access confidential mental health and nurse practitioner visits via special secure ZOOM and telephone.  To make an appointment, students can call 707-527-4445 or email studenthealthservices@santarosa.edu. For more information on community health resources, hotlines, and online activities, visit the SHS website.

 

Student Resource Centers: Basic Needs

In addition to direct support, SRJC has a team of peer Basic Needs Navigators that provide support online during remote learning.

Basic Needs Syllabi Statement 

Basic needs insecurity is highly stigmatized, and students often feel ashamed or embarrassed to share personal struggles. Consider adding a reminder about basic needs to your syllabi. If you are concerned about a student, we invite you to refer them via email to our Student Resource Centers (see information above).

 

Sample Statement:

Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to contact the Student Resource Centers for support. Furthermore, please notify the professor if you are comfortable doing so.

 

Recognizing Basic Needs Insecurity 

Learn how to recognize the signs of basic needs insecurity, which can appear as lack of motivation or other behavior concerns. Signs such as sleeping in class, chronic tardiness, and low performance might be related to basic needs. In fact, one recent study found that students experiencing basic needs are 15% more likely to fail a course.  

The Hope Center, a national leader on basic needs insecurity on college campus, urges colleges and universities to see students as humans first. During this time of unprecedented challenge, now more than ever we need to be compassionate with our students. If you have concerns about students, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the B-CARE team.
