Rising costs of living and increasing student housing rates have exacerbated college retention efforts as campus leaders look to tackle a rising concern: basic needs insecurity.   A lack of essential resources such as food, housing and clothing and general financial strain are two of the top reasons students say they leave college.   To address this issue and provide resources to students, the University of Houston opened its Center for Student Advocacy and Community in 2020, which houses some of the university's essential needs programs. I spoke with the center's director and assistant director about the relationship between student success and basic needs and how to promote resources across campus.  In this episode, host Ashley Mowreader speaks with the University of Houston's director, Michael Crook, and associate director, Kevin Nguyen, of the Center for Student Advocacy and Community to learn more about how the center operates, the ties between basic needs and student success and some of the center's future goals.  Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Student Success Reporter Ashley Mowreader.

Coincidentally commemorating the 9 year anniversary of what's been dubbed one of the worst superhero movies ever made, we watched Josh Trank's 2015 mega-flop Fantastic Four a.k.a. Fant4stic this week. Doomed from the start by the competing forces of a hot young director and a studio trying to compete with the media conglomerate that will buy them two years later, the resulting attempt to reboot the Fantastic Four into darker, Cronenbergian territory was not so fantastic. It's stinks actually, but who's really to blame? Josh Trank? Fox? Kate Mara's wig? With the MCU's own iteration of Marvel's first family on the horizon, the time has finally come for us to figure out exactly what went wrong.  Featuring the debut of our new fourth mic: Kevin Nguyen.

But the app also eBird also serves an important function for researchers.  As eBird recently logged its 1 billionth bird sighting, it is crowdsourcing massive amounts of data which provides valuable information for researchers who can then better understand the movement of bird populations and what they can tell us about climate change.

If you are young you know the importance of saving money, and investing in your future. The problem is it's so easy to say we will do something without actually making a commitment to get there. Many young people struggle to save money consistently, and usually use the excuse of I'm young. The problem is the longer we wait to save and invest money the less time these dollars will have to work for us in The Stock Market. Saving and investment is just a habit that can start with a few small mindset shifts. In this episode of The Mind Melt Podcast Mathew Collins and I talk about the three key mindsets that will help everyone save more money in the long run. We also talk about the importance of creating a safe and secure future by getting life insurance early on. The truth is we never know what will happen down the road, so the better prepared we can be for the challenges that lay ahead the better life we will live.
