˿Ƶapp Opens Student Help Hub
Published
˿Ƶapp has officially opened the Student Help Hub, a one-stop shop for students to connect with academic, financial, and personal support. Located at ˿Ƶapp's Northeast Campus Student Union, the Help Hub offers in-person assistance, with online access available to all ˿Ƶapp students.
˿Ƶapp is excited to announce the launch of the Student Help Hub, a comprehensive resource center designed to connect ˿Ƶapp students with personal, academic, and financial guidance. The Student Help Hub office, located at ˿Ƶapp’s Northeast Campus Student Union building, is now open for students to connect with staff in-person. A dedicated webpage is available to provide access to all ˿Ƶapp students regardless of location.
Through the Help Hub, students will be supported by a personal navigator who will work to connect them to ˿Ƶapp resources like Financial Literacy, Tutoring, and free laptop and hot spot rentals, plus assistance with community resources like food, housing, transportation, utility assistant programs, and more.
“We know our students can benefit tremendously from the Student Help Hub to get the resources they need, whether it’s access to basic necessities, financial assistance, or community support,” says ˿Ƶapp President and CEO Leigh Goodson, Ph.D. “Oftentimes, students are facing hardships that are out of their control. Creating a sense of security is essential so they can focus on their education and achieving their goals.”
The Student Help Hub is staffed by a team of three full-time employees. Personalized guidance is available for the admissions process, financial literacy, and tech lending. Students can make appointments or visit on a walk-in basis to access services.
“Many students don’t know what to ask for, but we know the help is there. That’s why having a one-stop shop for resources is so important. Raising awareness and ensuring we can connect students to the right support can make a real difference,” says ˿Ƶapp Vice President of Student Success and Chief Student Affairs Officer Eunice Tarver, Ph.D.
The Student Help Hub provides students with a dedicated ˿Ƶapp phone number to connect directly with 211 for essential resources. A partnership with Tulsa Responds will also offer in-person support during tax season, helping students file their taxes, and determine eligibility for government assistance programs. Tulsa Responds can assist students with SNAP benefits and provide guidance on other available community resources.
