Renegade Nexus (Basic Needs Center) Syllabus Sample Statement
If you face challenges securing your basic needs, you are not alone. Any student who is experiencing difficulty with transportation, affording materials for classes, accessing food on a regular basis, maintaining mental and physical well-being, and/or lacking a safe place to live, is encouraged to contact our basic needs center, the Renegade Nexus, by completing the Renegade Nexus Referral Form or by visiting us in-person at the Office of Student Life in the Campus Center. Furthermore, please notify the professor if you are comfortable in doing so. This will enable them to provide any resources that they may possess.
