Below is a written transcript of the video:

"Hi, my name is Karin Nguyen, and I'm a student at Meritt College. I incredibly love their services, I love their students, and I'm just so glad to be a part of this community. One of the, I think, underutilized but probably not advertised enough, resources is the food pantry. This is where you can get free food once a month roughly about and some other supplies also, like clothing, other goods that are definitely helpful for just daily usage. Maybe basic necessities of the sort. Lastly, I'm just enjoying what this campus has to offer. There is just so much in terms of student life, so much in terms of help and resources, and I am so proud and happy to be a Meritt student."
