Campus for Change is an organization that aims to provide educational resources and encourage change for our campus, our community, and our country. Our mission is to bring awareness to social issues and provide ways we as a group can make a change. This club plans to raise money for important causes, host events to get involvement, and dispense resource links to members who wish to involve themselves in positive change, no matter their political stance, during such a critical time. This club is a place to speak out in a comfortable, safe environment where members will respect and encourage each other. It is a judgment-free zone where arguing will not be tolerated. Though 2020 has been trying for many, our organization's mission is to become a source of hope for the students of the University of Pikeville.

On select Wednesday nights, CSS and the Center for Student Engagement collaborate to provide home-cooked meals and comfort food to UPIKE students in an informal, encouraging environment to make you feel at ease so you can discuss problems with your peers, especially problems frequently encountered by college students, such as homesickness, roommate issues and study skills or test anxiety. This event also serves as a means to foster interaction and a sense of community between peers who may not normally have the opportunity to connect.
