Program Description:
Enjoy lunch and hear about the Wellness Partners Breakfast hosted by the College this past June. The Breakfast was an opportunity for the College to work with community partners like One Day At A Time, the American Red Cross, Broke in Philly, and the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists to look at how we are addressing and how we can continue to address the challenges faced by our students outside of classroom concerns like housing and/or food insecurity; drug and alcohol addiction; lack of supportive network; inadequate access to child care and transportation). This presentation is a chance to hear about how the college is working with our community partners to combat those challenges. And make sure to stay until the end to make your own sundae!
