Sample #2
I understand that the majority of college students experience some type of financial insecurity at some point—from confusion about debt or financial aid to lack of steady income to housing insecurity—and that these stresses can impact their lives on campus. Students do not need to navigate these challenges on their own. Students who are feeling overwhelmed or confused about their financial situations can connect with the Student Financial Aid Office, the Montserrat Office or the Dean of Students to talk through available support options.

Sample #3
We learn as whole people. To learn effectively you must have basic security: a roof over your head, a safe place to sleep, enough food to eat. If you’re having trouble with any of those things, please talk with me or with the Student Financial Aid Office, the Montserrat Office or Dean of Students. Together we can work to make sure those needs are met. (adapted from Yvonne Seale, SUNY-Geneseo)
Sample #4
Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to contact the Student Financial Aid Office, the Montserrat Office or Dean of Students. If you’re comfortable doing so, please also let me know so that I can provide any resources I may possess. (adapted from Sara Goldrick-Rab)
