Advocacy & Resource Center


When life happens, we have resources that can help. The ARC is designed to assist students with non-academic barriers and help the student to get back on the path toward graduation. The office functions as a resource and referral center.

Food Pantry

The ARC assists students who are food insecure by offering snacks, non-perishable food and personal hygiene items. This service is free for all students. We believe hunger should not be an obstacle in reaching your academic goal. Donations of nonperishable food and personal hygiene items are always welcome.

Priority is given to Special Population students including: non-traditional, out-of-workforce individuals, single parents, Veterans and students with disabilities.
