Supporting Marginalized Students

Mindy Nichamin suggests ways to help marginalized students :

• Adjusting norms and expectations to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic
• Providing financial assistance (rent, food, basic needs)
• Offering employment assistance – particularly for international students who are not allowed by visa status to work off campus
• Creating support groups for specific marginalized communities
• Training faculty to better engage with and support students
• Increasing communication and access to resources
Being mindful of which students are referred off campus for services
