Collegiate Readership Program

The "USA Today Collegiate Readership Program" is Augustana's free newspaper program, funded by the Augustana Student Association (ASA). Copies of the Argus Leader and USA Today newspapers are available every weekday at two locations in the Morrison Commons.

Augustana's "Collegiate Readership Program" was piloted in 2007 and kicked off in 2008. The mission of the program is to enhance the learning environment on campus by encouraging students to read newspapers, promoting critical thinking and an awareness of current events.

The ASA politely reminds faculty, staff and college guests that the free newspapers are provided for students and are not available to others. Students are reminded to read, reuse, and recycle. Please return papers to the distribution racks in the Commons so that more students may have the opportunity to read the paper.

Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy is based off of the five core leadership values of service, productivity, character, diversity, and justice. The Academy is a series of workshops that offers students leadership, growth, and development.

USA Today Collegiate Readership Program
The Student Government Association funds the opportunity for students to pick up a selection of newspapers each day. The program is designed to promote civic engagement, global awareness, and media literacy on campus by exposing students to the news and information shaping their lives.

Blue Books, Scantrons, and Bus Passes
The Student Government Association provides the opportunity for students to pick up a complimentary scantron and bluebook daily.  In addition, current students can request a FREE CATS bus pass.  To receive a bus pass students must provide a current BRCC ID, along with their current class schedule. To receive a bluebook and scantron students must present their current BRCC ID.

Clubs/Organizations
Student Organizations can apply for additional funding grants, if needed, each semester to help assist funding for educational conferences and conventions. Each active club may receive up to $1,250.00 each semester.

Departmental Grants
Academic and non-academic departments may apply for grants each academic year to assist with funding for educational projects, programs, or events that will enhance the image of the university. These grants must fund activities that primarily benefit the student body in either an academic or non-academic way.

New York Times

SGA funds a campus subscription to the New York Times. Newspapers are available in various spots throughout campus.

Hammocks

Check out a hammock for free in the SGA office and hang out with your friends outside of the Student Union Building! More hammock spots will be installed during the 18-19 school year.

SGA Room Sponsorship

SGA reserves tabling spots or rooms for students to conduct meetings or simple events. Intended activities must meet Biola's Community Standards in order to be approved. SGA sponsorship does not imply endorsement or financial support of the activity or event. Complete the Sponsorship Request Form to get started.

Bowdoin College's BSG spends $14,000 for an online movie streaming service that students can access through their phones or computers.

Before the movie plays, BSG has a video message, which makes sure that students know more about BSG.

"BSG has historically funded it for the last dozen years," says Elliott Ewell, BSG Vice President (24-25). "All students and faculty can access it through a website with SSO. The service does not carry all that Apple or Netflix has but carries an “in-between.” It’s not the same as any offered services but carries some products from many of them."

College students face many challenges, but getting enough to eat doesn’t have to be one of them.


CNCC’s Student Pantry has offered free food to college students for the past two years.


“It’s a program that grew organically because we needed it and we have people who have cared,” said Director of Student Support Jennifer Holloway.


Students who forgot to bring a lunch or are short of funds may seek help directly from Holloway or from the Student Government Offices or by speaking to someone at the front desk at the CNCC Academic Building, 2801 W 9th St., Craig.


The College and University Food Bank Alliance, the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, the Student Government Resource Center, and the Student Public Interest Research Groups surveyed college students in 2016 to better understand hunger on campus.


The study found:

• Food insecurity was reported by 48 percent of students. About half of those qualified as going hungry.

• Food insecurity occurs at both two-year and four-year institutions.

• Food insecurity is a problem even for students who are employed, participate in a campus meal plan, or seek other financial or material help.

• Students experiencing food insecurity often also suffer from housing insecurity, such as difficulty paying the rent, mortgage, or utility bills.

• Housing insecurity is greatest at community colleges.

• Students reported that problems securing food or housing resulted in missed classes, dropped classes and prevented them from buying textbooks.


“It all goes along with the cost of education,” said Moffat County College Board Member Lois Wymore. “ Most of our students, whether they are traditional or nontraditional, have to work as well. It’s really difficult to make ends meet.”


Student Government Secretary and College Sophomore Sara Petree thinks the pantry is important.


“I think the students that have come here from other places may struggle to get nourishing food,” she said.


Students are able to receive two kinds of help: food to feed their households and/or a meal while on campus.


The college doesn’t keep records on who uses the service to encourage any student in need to seek help. They also fill red bags of food an leave them outside of the Student Government offices so that students don’t have to ask to grab a bag of food.


“Our students are overwhelmingly appreciative. Once they are settled and everything is OK, they are some of our biggest donors,” said Administrative Assistant II Carol Sharp.


The college keeps the panty — a storage cupboard at the academic building — filled by holding food drives a few times a year.


“At the end of each semester, before finals, instructors often give students extra credit for bringing in food,” said Craig Campus Student Life Coordinator Barry Steadman.


A food drive is underway now to prepare for the increased demand from students at the start of the fall semester. Non-perishable food items can be taken to the college academic building.


“We offer hope for people trying to get our of poverty. We are one of the most tangible ways to fight poverty,” said Holloway. “This is there way out.”

Our Mission
The Pantry @NCC seeks to alleviate the barriers and challenges associated with food insecurity and hunger so that students can remain in school, and ultimately, earn their degrees.

The Pantry @NCC
Current Hours
Monday 8:30 am to 2:00 pm
Tuesday 9 am to 10 am

Thursday 9 am to 10 am

Friday 9:30 am to 12:00 noon

Who we are and why
Why does NCC have a food pantry? Food insecurity has increasingly become an issue on college and university campuses across the country with some data showing 39-59% of college students experiencing food insecurity. Research has shown that the rates of food-insecure community college students exceed the national average which has a negative effect on student GPA, levels of energy, and concentration. Obtaining an adequate food supply is often a major component of the financial stress that students bear. And while there are community resources available, it may be difficult to access them due to transportation or scheduling. In addition, sometimes community food resources are not able to accommodate students based on their eligibility guidelines.

How does it work?
Students are allowed to self-refer, or may be referred by campus departments. Students must present their Student ID or other proof that they are a current, registered NCC student in order to receive food. Students in need are welcome to visit The Pantry twice per month and receive a total of 20 items per month. Students are encouraged to bring their own grocery bag or to reuse the bag they are given upon their first visit to the pantry.
