“ SLP RESOURCES FOR SOS ”
Have you ever met up with a student who is in distress ? Didn ’ t know what to say or what to do ? Wish you had some resources in front of you to give them ?
As Staff , often times we just need to listen , provide a gentle ear , a kind word or maybe even a hug . Usually we can ’ t resolve a problem a student is having , but can let them know we care , and if they are interested , direct them to one of the resources below .
As Staff , we can Give , Do , Love and Serve by caring about our wonderful students and being mindful of a difference we can make in their lives .

FOOD4LIFE PROGRAM
LIFE is made up of wonderfully generous people who share their abundance with others in our LIFE community who have food needs . Food4LIFE , a food pantry program here on campus , is administered ( beautifully , we might add ) primarily by Library staff , along with Student Services , Auxiliary Services and Service Initiatives . Food needs have become increasingly common among students in college and graduate programs , and we ’ re seeing it at LIFE as well . Right now , Food4LIFE could use donations of proteins , such as canned or vacuum bagged tuna , chicken and salmon , as well as beef stew and hearty soups .
If you ’ d like to receive assistance from the Food4LIFE pantry , access can be requested by emailing Food4LIFE @ LIFE . edu , or you can simply stop by the Library to request access to the pantry . https :// www . LIFE . edu / current-students / food4lifeprogram /
