This week’s COVID Superstars are our Emergency Relief/CARES Act Committee which led by Kevin Griffith, includes Erin Brown, Linda Lucas, Lori Schmatz and Lorie Williams.
Thanks to our IU South Bend Emergency Relief/CARES Act team, Kevin Griffith, Erin Brown, Linda Lucas, Lori Schmatz, and Lorie Williams, for outstanding support to our students experiencing economic stress. Over the past year, thousands of IU South Bend students have received financial support for rent, food, medical care, technology, and transportation needs related to COVID-19. It is not uncommon for Kevin, Erin, Linda, Lori, and Lorie to spend countless hours during the evening and on weekends, in order to research, review, and award emergency relief and CARES Act funding. Students also benefit from financial aid counseling and community resource assistance from this amazing team of humble and dedicated professionals. Thank you for a job well done!
