The University of Utah's Basic Needs Collective is pressing forward in an effort to help U. students obtain the most common top needs.
. The numbers come from the Basic Needs Collective's data taken when meeting with students and determining their biggest needs.
"We serve any student regardless of basic need security," said Sara Garza-Levitt, the inaugural director of the collective. "If you're a student at the University of Utah, and you want to know about campus and community resources that are available to you, come to us because we can help. We make it our business to actively research and know the resources that students have access to.
"Largely due to basic need insecurities and needing to focus on work and parenting, it took me 23 years to earn my first college degree. ... I earned my in two years and my in one year after that because I gained basic need security, and I was able to thrive academically," Garza-Levitt said. Awareness of the program was minimal until the collective was offered the opportunity to wrap the block U. on campus for the first two weeks of the semester.
