Newcombe Foundation Distinguished Lecture — Dr. Anne E. Lunquist

Join the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation as Anne E. Lundquist, Ph.D., Director at The Hope Center and Assistant Professor at Temple University, presents a talk entitled: Student Basic Needs Security: Foundational to Student Success and Well-Being.

Description: Three in five college students do not have enough to eat or a stable place to live. Basic needs security (regular and nutritious food and safe drinking water, secure housing, dependable transportation, convenient and safe child and elder care, digital access, sufficient physical and mental health care, and more) are central for learning  and critical for student success and educational equity. Basic needs insecurity hampers student success, inhibits social mobility and deepens inequities. The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University is an action-oriented capacity-building Center making an impact on student basic needs insecurity through research, policy and practice.  Hope works nationally with hundreds of colleges and universities, policy-makers, higher education and government organizations and funders to improve the lives of students, increase college affordability and transform educational systems. Hope also partners with colleagues at Temple University as they provide direct support and resources beyond financial aid for Temple students. Dr. Anne E. Lundquist will share an overview of the basic needs context in higher education, provide examples of interventions and supports that make an impact, lift up student voices and stories, and highlight the role of government, foundations and philanthropy in supporting colleges and universities (and change-makers like Hope) in creating a world where basic needs insecurity is no longer a barrier to student success and collective well-being.
