Fall Quarter – Week 7 Newsletter
Below are this week's updates:
CalFresh and Food Resources Update
As of now, CalFresh has been restored to most (if not all) CalFresh recipients for November. As a result, the GSP Emergency CalFresh Support has been paused until we know more about what will happen for December. We'll keep everyone updated. Meanwhile, GSP has added MORE canned and dry foods! We have our regular pantry for snacks and lunches, as well as a pantry to take food home! Come by during GSP hours!
We have a lot of students with birthdays during the Fall Quarter! You can wish your fellow GSPers a HAPPY BIRTHDAY by completing this form: Fall Quarter 2025 Birthday
Mid-Quarter Check-in
As the middle of the quarter rolls in, GSP is checking in with students to ensure their academic success for the quarter. Please fill out this brief survey and let us know how you are doing so far!
Note: This survey is mandatory for students who are in Academic Notice and/or Subject to Disqualification.
