Meeting Basic Needs
аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± cares about the well-being of our students. We recognize the challenges you may encounter while you are a student with us and we want to be active in our support. Please know that you are not alone!
Basic needs are real needs that can include getting enough to eat, safe and stable housing, access to mental health services, childcare, or having supplies to complete course assignments.
Per your level of comfort, let's chat about the support you may need today, tomorrow, or even next week. Regardless if you are a local resident or an online student, please reach out to Tracy Rahim, Student Life Coordinator & Basic Needs Coordinator, at tracy.rahim@southeastmn.edu. Know you will be met with the promise of confidentiality and compassion.
