Taking Care to the Next Level
There are many ways that student affairs professionals can take an active role in addressing student homelessness, food insecurity, and housing insecurity on their campuses.
Los Angeles Room and Board
Food insecurity, housing insecurity, and homelessness have and continue to be an issue on college and university campuses. Unfortunately, they are issues that continue to encounter a social stigma associated with these issues. It’s a systemic issue that unfortunately impacts already marginalized communities. Sam Prater founded LA Room and Board as a place “to support students in identifying housing without respect to credit worthiness, income level, or other barriers.

Effecting Change on Issues of Race, Power, and Privilege in Student Residence
Three realities alive on campuses today limit our ability to act meaningfully. First, the topic of race/racism is often superficially engaged with, and sometimes avoided altogether. Second, very few institutions gather meaningful data about the lived experiences of their racialized students, staff, and faculty. Third, experiences of racism are often recorded as isolated anecdotes or incidents, with little to no formal structures to investigate if/how these experiences permeate the culture of the institution. How can we disrupt the status quo?
Virginia Commonwealth University
I had the vision to integrate the staff application and forms functions to utilize eRezLife as a personnel management platform, eRezLife was able to help me create an avenue to make that vision a reality.
