Words that come to mind when students think about their experience with the CARES Center:

  • Care & Support
  • The very BEST!!
  • Good at listening, empathetic, understanding, calm, peaceful, safe environment.
  • I think of the Cares Center as a place to help students with important needs.
  • Great experience helpful support was provided
  • With my experience with the CARES Center, I had an absolutely amazing time and they helped me through so much.
  • Nothing short of Excellence
  • Best for students who are struggling to buy groceries
  • Literally caring
  • Though I came in for 1 reason that wasn't solvable, I came out with a fix to an issue that I wasn't expecting to get fixed so soon. So I can tell that they want to make sure a person isn't walking out empty-handed when leaving.
