- Everyone on campus thought of ways to help including Rudolf & Sletten, builders of our new Math, Science & Engineering Building, who donated backpacks and blankets to the Jag Kitchen. Plus, EOPS held an all-day Dress for Success clothing drive for students needing a refresh on their wardrobe.
Jackets, shirts, accessories, shoes and more have filled the conference room next to EOPS for their Dress for Success event. Stop by today until 6:30 p.m., Room S202, to pick some free clothes to improve your look for that next job interview. #HHWeek pic.twitter.com/lB1hEOvRiu- The week culminated with a community discussion kicked off by Assemblymember Shirley Weber and featured local community colleges, universities and community resources coming together to address how to better help students.
