Triple C’s November newsletter brings a powerful lineup of updates, opportunities, and resources for campuses working to support student success and strengthen community engagement across Ohio.
This month, Triple C is leading statewide conversations around the impact of ongoing SNAP disruptions on college students. With many campuses experiencing increased demand for food and basic needs support, Triple C will host a virtual discussion on November 18 to share resources, highlight campus strategies, and explore collective advocacy to protect SNAP access.
The newsletter also officially kicks off award season, with nominations for the 2026 Ping & Hoch Awards opening in December. These annual recognitions honor students, faculty, and staff who are making exceptional contributions to community-engaged learning and service across Triple C partner campuses. In addition, Triple C and Mount St. Joseph University are currently recruiting AmeriCorps VISTA members—including a VISTA Leader position with Triple C—for those interested in serving communities and expanding student support systems. Campuses interested in hosting a VISTA member are also encouraged to connect.
Triple C continues to grow statewide advocacy through the Hunger Free Campus Coalition, inviting partners to take action, engage legislators, and strengthen campus basic needs programs. Campuses can also raise direct support for their student food pantries and basic needs initiatives at no cost through Triple C’s partnership with SpotFund and FAST, which provides a customized fundraising page and donor platform.
Beyond these highlights, the newsletter features timely civic engagement resources—including a new report on the civic implications of AI—and multiple partner opportunities, from faculty development through the Engaged Faculty Institute Online to national events like the IMPACT Conference, National Day of Racial Healing, and calls for proposals and presentations.
Campuses are encouraged to read the full newsletter to dive deeper, register for events, and access tools designed to support community-engaged teaching, leadership, and student well-being across Ohio.
