During COVID, UNLV's "How Can We Help?" form provided students with quick answers and connections to resources in a fully virtual environment. What began as a temporary solution has become one of the most effective tools on campus, continuing to serve students long after classes returned in person. 🎉

Through this simple form, students can reach out when they’re unsure where to go — whether the issue involves food insecurity, housing, academic needs, wellness, or crisis support. At UNLV, the goal is clear: to cut through red tape, reduce stigma around asking for help, and ensure that no Rebel has to face challenges alone. 💪❤️
