Presidential Citizen Scholars Present Research on Pantries for Food-Insecure Students May 14

SALISBURY, MD---For the past three semesters, Salisbury University’s Presidential Citizen Scholars have studied the feasibility of creating a judgement- and stigma-free campus food pantry for food-insecure students.

They share their research on the initiative during a capstone presentation 6 p.m. Monday, May 14, in Conway Hall Room 153. Topics include the urgency of need for a food pantry; steps taken to secure a location, food donations and administrative support; and actions planned this summer to make the project a reality next academic year.

Sponsored by SU’s Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE), admission is free and the public is invited. A reception follows. For more information call 410-677-5045 or visit the PACE website at www.salisbury.edu/pace.
