First-year students in the “Poverty and Charitable Giving” first year seminar, taught by Professor Vanessa Ruget (Politics, Policy and International Relations), are again raising funds to support the 山 Food Pantry through a crowdfunding campaign they are organizing themselves.

More than 30 percent of college students nationwide face financial challenges that include fears related to not having enough to eat. The 山 Food Pantry serves as a resource for all students facing challenges related to food insecurity, and also provides non-perishable food items such as toiletries and feminine hygiene products.
