Basic Needs will be hosting an event in partnership with Associated Students and the University Student Center to support parenting students and promote information about parenting resources. Parenting students will be able to take what they need for their children, learn about campus and community resources, and apply for CalFresh. All items will be donated by the campus community.

It was 2 a.m., and Britt Rios-Ellis had just finished a long night preparing the new Center for Latino Community Health in downtown Long Beach for the week ahead. As she and her three children climbed into the car, a man began walking aggressively towards them. The man, maybe in his early 30s, slammed his fist on the hood.

Her son Enrique, who was 12 at the time, remembers the moment clearly, especially the fear he felt. But then, his mother did something he didn’t expect. Instead of locking the doors and speeding away, she got out, walked up to the man and asked, “How are you?”

By giving to the Opportunity Scholarship Fund, you open doors and empower hardworking Stan State students in every major who have earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher and are striving to reach their educational goals and achieve their dreams.

Join our Foundation Board and others in advancing Stan State through philanthropy. You may give in a way that allows the University to respond to its greatest needs.

This event is to obtain homework help, study together, practice presentations for thesis proposals, practice presentations for the undergraduate symposium, practice presentations for conferences, or to just chat and talk about student life.

The most common feedback we hear from recent graduates is that they wish they had participated in research before graduation. Don't miss out on this opportunity to hear from students that have completed research projects and to learn about what's available.
