Roadrunner Cares

Roadrunner Cares

Roadrunner Cares is a referral process to connect students to supportive services. Staff and faculty can use Roadrunner Cares when they believe a student has urgent personal concerns that are out of the ordinary and might prevent the student from being successful at Butte College.

Our Mission: 

• To increase student retention and sucess by providing resources to address barriers. 
• To educate and inform staff and faculty on the purpose of Roadrunner Cares including hosting information sessions and/or attending staff/faculty meetings 

The Team: 

The Roadrunner Cares team consists of 3 case managers from the following areas: Basic Needs, Back on Track, and Mental Health. Our goal is:  

1. To contact and connect the student to various on campus/off campus resources 
2. To create an action plan with the student to guide them in the direction that will best suit their educational success
3. To provide interdepartmental case management as appropriate

Steps to refer a student:

• Step I. Create a referral using the Report It.
• Step II. Advise the student that they will receive a follow up email and/or phone call following up about their situation.
• Step III. The Roadrunner Cares team will make all attempts to initiate contact with the student and arrange a referral to the appropriate student services or community resource.
