Community Campus Coalition (Triple C) and The Columbus Foundation invite higher education professionals, community partners, students, and others working in or interested in student basic needs to join us for The Big Table, a conversation about the state of college student basic needs in Ohio.
This gathering will bring people from across higher education and the community together to share perspectives, identify challenges, and explore opportunities to strengthen our collective work.
Rather than another presentation or panel, The Big Table is an opportunity to connect with others doing this work, learn from different perspectives, and contribute to a broader conversation about how Ohio can better support students’ basic needs.
