We are excited to announce Cougar Care, an upcoming initiative designed specifically with you in mind. We understand that your
journey through college comes with its unique challenges, and we are here to
provide you with the comprehensive support you need to thrive academically and
personally.
Cougar Care is all about wrap-around services, which means
we are committed to addressing not just your academic needs, but also the
various life challenges you may encounter while pursuing your education. Cougar Care will focus on basic needs,
including:
- Mental Health Support
- Food Resources
- Emergency Aid
- Transportation
- Caregiving
The heart of Cougar Care is to create a network of support
at all CBC locations, making sure that you have easy access to the resources
you need. Our goal is to remove non-academic barriers that may stand in your
way and empower you to achieve your educational goals.
As you embark on your educational journey at CBC, know that
Cougar Care is here for you!

What is Cougar Care?
Cougar Care, Coastal Bend College’s new Quality Enhancement
Plan (QEP), will create a program for students to easily access support
services across all CBC locations. CBC
employees will receive training to identify student challenges related to basic
needs, understand their role in Cougar Care, and learn effective ways to help
students succeed.
Cougar Care’s goal is to boost student success by
recognizing and reducing the impact of obstacles to basic needs through
comprehensive support services.
