Virtual Basic Needs Forum
College students today regularly struggle to get their basic needs met, and CSU students are no exception. At the start of this academic year, the ASI Board of Directors identified hosting a Basic Needs Forum as a strategic priority that we felt would help inform students what is being done by their local and state elected officials, and give them the chance to engage in the discussion. Planning had begun for the event and invitations had been sent out when the COVID-19 crisis forced the CSU system to cancel on campus events and shift instruction to online in March.
