Michigan College Access Network and the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential invite you to discuss the importance of student basic needs for college access and success.

We are looking to engage higher education, workforce and community partners supporting college student basic needs — housing, food, transportation, healthcare, mental health and childcare — including student affairs professionals, advisers, benefits navigators, student advocates and nonprofit organizations.

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 30 or when capacity is reached.
