There IS Such a Thing as a Free Lunch/Dinner/Breakfast!
Did you know that most second-year and higher PSY and CD students are eligible to receive up to $281 a month to support buying groceries? This is because the PSY/CD program is considered an LPIE (Learning Program that Increases Employability) due to the fact that we require students to do internships! A clear win for Learn-By-Doing! You also have to meet income requirements but most students easily qualify. (First-year students are on a mealplan and so will not qualify until their second year).
It's free to apply and you get a pre-loaded card to use at local stores, or buy groceries online at Amazon or Walmart. It won’t affect your financial aid and you don’t need your parent's tax return information to apply. YOU can apply online with or without an appointment. Don't sleep on this - being a student is expensive, get help where you can!

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
The 7th Annual Social Justice Teach In (hosted by CLA and OUDI) is this week on Thursday 2/9 and promises to be another great event! We are hoping to get a few more student volunteers to assist presenters with tech needs (e.g., letting participants into the waiting rooms), and sign-in sheets as well as contacting organizers if necessary. This is a great way to assist in the Teach In, while getting to listen to some excellent presentations by students, staff, and faculty experts across campus. Please see this link for times that volunteers are needed. Megan Rivoire in OUDI will follow up with more specific instructions.
