Two Professional staff members rotate night and weekend hours to visit students who are transported to the hospital.

Student in Need Program

Serves students who have a physical illness/injury or some type of financial crisis Assists students experiencing the death of friends or family members The Student Emergency Fund is available for students experiencing various financial emergencies Bama Cares 4 UA – Care baskets are delivered to students admitted to local hospitals – Meal donations and food bags are distributed to students experiencing food insecurity – Personal hygiene items are also available for students in need

Campus Statistics There are no national statistics on Food Insecurity in College Students at this time The University of California found that roughly 25% of undergraduate students at their nine campuses skipped meals to save money (2014) The City University of New York found that roughly 40% of students experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months Freudenberg, N., Manzo, L., Jones, H., Kwan, A., Tsui, E., Gagnon, M. (April, 2011) Food Insecurity at CUNY: Results from a Survey of CUNY Undergraduate Students. Healthy CUNY Initiative, City University of New York. Available at: University of California Office of the President. (September, ). Student Response Summary Reports: Background and Personal Characteristics. University of California.

By the Numbers Got Meals – ACY 2014/15: 580 meals were distributed – Since Program inception (Fall 2010): 2550 meals have been distributed to 228 students Bama Cares 4 UA – Fall 2015: 14 students received food bag/toiletry items – Fall Spring 2016: care baskets have been delivered to hospitalized students Student Emergency Fund – For ACY 15/16: 18 awards totaling $22, were approved by the Acts of Kindness Committee

Case Example In the Fall of 2015, a student was involved in a hit-and- run accident while riding his bike home. He received severe injuries to his legs, shoulder, and back, as well as internal injuries. First responders were unsure if he would survive, and after it was clear he would, doctors were fearful he would lose a leg. Our office visited him on the night of the incident and throughout the next several weeks. We contacted his instructors to work on a plan to help him graduate on time. We were able to access funding for him through the Acts of Kindness Fund to assist with medical bills and living expenses while he was unable to work. We worked closely with the hospital and his church to make sure he had the support he needed. Our office also worked with many of his friends who were struggling after the accident. He made an amazing recovery and was released from the ICU sooner than expected. He was also released from the hospital to his home instead of a rehab facility as previously expected. He graduated on schedule and was able to start his graduate program in theology on time in January.

Student of Concern Program
