2-1-1 provides information about school lunch programs and summer food service programs for children. You can get information on government-sponsored programs that reduce hunger and find out if you qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps millions of Americans purchase food through grocery stores, farmers markets and restaurants.

Campus Counseling

https://www.sullivan.edu/counseling-connection

We’re here to provide the support and guidance you need to effectively manage stress or cope with difficult life events. Sometimes talking through a problem or getting another person’s perspective on an issue can make all the difference. Virtual counseling sessions may also be arranged.

How It Works

All Sullivan University students are allotted seven (7) free counseling sessions with a licensed counselor for a given issues over the course of a calendar year, with referrals available as needed.

Our small group discussion sessions are always free and your participation does not count toward any of your seven sessions.
