 Hey everyone, I'm Ryan Samozzi from CalCP, and we're here at the Tatting Center to reveal some exciting new news for the Health Opportunity Fund. I'm here with ACC Senator Nikhil, the transfer advocate for the office of the president, Saniha and Neil. So Neil, what exactly is the Health Opportunity Fund? Just to begin with, to add some clarity to those that might not be super important. So the Health Opportunity Fund is this incredible program that started several years ago. Essentially what it allows you to do is wave up to $110 using your Cal1 from healthcare expenditures at Tang. To qualify you just have to be a Pell or Dream recipient, so it's specifically for our low-income and undocumented students, first-generation students. We basically received the funding to increase the total pool of money, like Neil was saying, that the Health Opportunity Fund has. So basically per student, so now Pell and Dream recipients will be able to access up to $200, whereas in the past they've been able to access up to $110. And increasing the total pool of money in the fund will also allow more students to be able to access the Health Opportunity Fund, and by extension the critical services they need at Tang. As I was researching to write the grant proposal, I saw a lot of like, worrisome data about how like, the most marginalized students on campus are the ones who need this funding the most. If you're a person of color, if you're a student here, if you're a first-generation, you're most likely to need this funding. So I really kept that in mind as I was writing for this grant. So I think it's important to uplift and empower the students who are often ignored the most on campus, and also to me it shows the power of students working for students. So we can get a lot done if we just put in like our work. We did put in a lot of hard work, but something anyone could do if you see a problem on campus and you might do something about it, like this is what we're here for. And plus health care is a human right because no one should have to decide between emergency health care and food and basic necessities like that. For me working at ASUC, I think this is symbolic of the work that the ASUC can and should be doing to support students on campus and specifically marginalized students. So a lot of these different super beneficial programs that are just like, they're there. That's actually a start at ASUC, and to this day a lot of us are still working super hard. And it's a good reminder that there are those of us who really do care. A lot of exciting new changes in news about the health opportunity. So please come and check it out. ASUC is working really hard and we're all really excited about that. I'm Ryan Salmonso with CalTV reporting out.
