Miner Support
Miner Support provides individualized case management for students experiencing personal, academic, financial, or social challenges. Our team reviews Person of Concern reports and connects students, faculty, and staff with the appropriate resources to promote safety, well-being, and success.

UTEP Food Pantry
The UTEP Food Pantry provides free, nutritious food to students facing food insecurity, helping ensure that no Miner goes hungry. Students can visit the pantry to pick up groceries and personal care items that support their overall well-being and academic success. CARE also hosts a weekly Mobile Pantry in partnership with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger to bring additional food resources directly to campus.

Victim Advocacy program
The Victim Advocacy program provides confidential support, information, and resources to members of the UTEP community who have experienced sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking, or other forms of interpersonal harm. Advocates help individuals understand their rights, explore options, and connect with campus and community services. CARE’s advocates are here to listen, believe, and empower survivors on their path to healing.
