Attend the #RealCollege Conference!
The 5th annual #RealCollege Conference is back September 16–18, 2022 at Rutgers University–Camden. In partnership with Believe in Students, we’ll focus on building systemic and sustainable change to support students’ basic needs.
Enroll in HIP!
When institutions struggle to address students’ basic needs, there are significant negative consequences on students’ lives and their ability to graduate. Schools have a tremendous opportunity to help yet aligning policies, practices, and systems can be a challenge. That’s where Hope Impact Partnerships (HIP) comes in!
Students are humans first.
The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice is redefining what it means to be a student-ready college, with a national movement centering on #RealCollege™ students’ basic needs. Reliable and consistent access to affordable food, housing, transportation, technology, familial care, and health care is a central condition for learning. Without those needs met, far too many students leave college in debt and without degrees.
We are conducting action research and fighting for the resources and supports to help #RealCollege™ students succeed.
