“A national survey released last year showed that one-third of community college students sometimes go hungry and 14 percent are homeless. Frances Villagran-Glover, an associate vice chancellor at Houston Community College, says their numbers are similar. …
For these students, even a small setback, like a car repair, can cause them to drop out. Never mind the disruption of a major disaster which destroyed tens of thousands of homes and cars and laid waste to daily routines. But colleges are learning that they can play a stronger role in removing these kinds of obstacles from students' paths to graduation. And Harvey has been a catalyst to increase these efforts at area colleges like HCC.”
This is happening on every college campus in the US, not just community colleges. WSU is no different. These students are hiding in the open. You may pass half a dozen that could fit those stats, or maybe you are one. There is no shame in asking for help, it takes a brave, strong person to admit that they need help and ask for it.
