Mental Health Starts with the Basics
"Basic needs aren't basic, they're essential!"
"We envision an equitable and inclusive campus where all students have access to the resources and necessary support needed to not only survive, but thrive," (Center for Women and Gender Equity).
If you're facing challenges with food security, housing, finances, or other essential needs, GVSU is here to support you. Explore available resources at the Replenish Basic Needs Assistance Center or submit a Care Report for assistance.
Resources to Navigate Executive Orders
Grand Valley has a dedicated webpage to help Lakers navigate executive orders and other federal actions that could affect higher education or members of the GVSU community.
