UACCM Day of Giving 2026

 

 

Jamie Palm has combined her determination and perseverance with the on-campus aid that UACCM provides to pave the way to a better future.

"I notice the Timberwolf pantries everywhere I go. Students don't have to wait, they can grab what they need if they need it," said Jamie. 

She continued, "There's been many times that I have gone and grabbed a snack to get through the day. It comes in clutch when my funds are low or I am running in between classes each day." 

Another on-campus aid that UACCM offers is the Student Emergency Fund. The Student Emergency Fund exists to help any UACCM student meet a temporary or unexpected financial need to stay in school.

"I learned about the Student Emergency Fund right before the big ice storm last month," Jamie said.

She continued, "I needed a way to pay for a CPR class. The Student Emergency Fund only took a few minutes to fill out and it made a big difference."

Jamie also has experience with the Career Pathways program on campus — "I really loved hearing about the work Career Pathways was doing to support students in their program, and I've been utilizing their services ever since."

"For me, now being in the nursing program, Career Pathways assists me with gas cards that help pay for gas as I drive to clinicals," Jamie said.

"Being a full-time student, while doing part-time work study, still doesn't make ends meet. I am so grateful for the assistance from Career Pathways." 

 

Jordan Buggs 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 time at UACCM."

  

Shelbi Wallace 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 Student Emergency Fund can help with the stress of travel so that I can focus on my school work," Shelbi said.

"When you give, you are investing in a student's future. You are investing in their education and where they go after UACCM."
