We’re so excited to share an update on the new courses now available for campus and individual use!
ICYMI: Last fall we announced the #RealCollege Curriculum, a masterclass for higher education professionals and their partners, designed to help colleges and universities enhance the equitable use of holistic student supports. We’re meeting educators where they are with courses designed to help them rethink their approach—not just in the classroom but across the broader campus ecosystem.
At the time, we told you to look for updates in 2025. That time is now. 😎
What to expect
Now available: Basic Needs 101, a three-course series that provides all educators foundational understanding of who today’s college students are, why the new economics of college are causing so many more of these students to experience challenges meeting their basic needs, and practical steps that can help better support student success despite these obstacles.
We’ve also created a course specifically focused on meeting the basic needs of parenting students – that phenomenally powerful 20% of college students who are most vulnerable to basic needs insecurity.
