UACCM Day of Giving: Shelbi Wallace

Image
  On March 10, Timberwolves everywhere will unite for one day of giving – a day long giving event that will support UACCM students and programs.  Today, we highlight UACCM student Shelbi Wallace, who learned that being a Timberwolf means that you are never on your own.  "I was so intimidated by having to do college alone. If I had realized all the resources and support available to students at UACCM, I would have started here sooner," said Shelbi. Shelbi notes the benefit of joining student organizations for her future, but notes how the cost to join can deter students from participating.  "I'm joining Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society because I know that group can open doors for me in the future. People may not realize how big of an impact their donation can make."  Like those before her, Shelbi has also benefited from the Student Emergency Fund.  "I have had to borrow money from the Student Emergency Fund for gas to get to school. I'm thankful the Stude...

  On March 10, Timberwolves everywhere will unite for one day of giving – a day long giving event that will support UACCM students and programs.  Today, we highlight UACCM student Jordan Buggs, who has personally benefited from the aid provided by programs at UACCM. “I’ve used both the Student Emergency Fund and the Timberwolf Pantry and they have helped out so much,” said Jordan. The Timberwolf Pantry is a free option for students that is regularly stocked through donation with food and basic hygiene items. There are Timberwolf Pantries located in five buildings on campus. “I am on campus for a long time, and being able to get out of class and stop by the Timberwolf Pantry for a snack really helps,” Jordan said.   “If you have a little extra to spend, it doesn’t hurt to support others,” Jordan said. He continued, “These projects do matter and they help students that go to UACCM.” “It may seem small, but it really does make a difference and it has helped me out during my ...
