As the?Hope Center?puts it, students are humans first, and their basic needs are central conditions for learning. That means that in addition to quality instruction and academic supports, students need help providing for their basic needs like food and housing if we want them to succeed in postsecondary programs and reach graduation.
WSAC and our partners wanted to understand the scope of basic needs insecurity on college campuses in Washington. So, in the fall of 2022, we administered the first ever Washington Student Experience Survey (WSES) to postsecondary students across the state.
In our third Research Digest, we look at the survey results, what they tell us about basic needs insecurity, and how they can be addressed.?
