Newcombe Foundation Distinguished Lecture — Dr. Anne E. Lunquist

Join the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation as Anne E. Lundquist, Ph.D., Director of The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs and Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban Health and Population Science in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine 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.

At Hope, Anne has the privilege of working alongside researchers, scholars, advocates, policy advisors, and storytellers who envision a world where basic needs insecurity is no longer a barrier to pursuing and completing college. In partnership with hundreds of colleges, agencies, and social change agents, Hope takes a systems-change approach to co-creating a higher ed landscape where educational opportunity is universal and equitable.  Anne has served as the assistant vice president for campus strategy at Anthology, the director of assessment and strategic planning at Western Michigan University, as well as senior student affairs officer at four colleges. She is the co-editor of Reframing Assessment to Center Equity: Theories, Models and Practices
(Routledge, 2022). She holds a MFA in Creative Writing and a PhD in Educational Leadership from Western Michigan University. She is a 500-hour trained yoga teacher.
