How to Provide Support as Faculty or Staff
We encourage you to contact Student Affairs when you suspect or know that a student may benefit from assistance, ranging from financial assistance to food assistance and housing support. You can refer a student or contact us in the following ways:
- Call or email the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs (765-285-1545; tmpeters@bsu.edu)
- Complete a Student of Concern report
- Share the Basic Needs Assistance form with the student so they may reach out to us directly
- Include the optional Basic Needs Syllabus Statement in your class syllabus
Basic Needs Syllabus Statement (optional)
If you are having difficulty affording enough food, do not have a safe and reliable place to sleep, and/or experiencing an emergency or crisis, help is available through the Basic Needs Hub. The Basic Needs Hub has information, resources, and provides individualized support to students. To talk with a supportive staff member about your experience, receive one on one assistance, or learn more about resources, you can submit a Basic Needs Assistance Form.
