The hidden problem of student hunger on college campuses is real.
Here's how colleges and universities are addressing it. As the
price of college continues to rise and the incomes of most
Americans stagnate, too many college students are going hungry.
According to researchers, approximately half of all undergraduates
are food insecure. Food Insecurity on Campus-the first book to
describe the problem-meets higher education's growing demand to
tackle the pressing question "How can we end student hunger?"
Essays by a diverse set of authors, each working to address food
insecurity in higher education, describe unique approaches to the
topic. They also offer insights into the most promising strategies
to combat student hunger, including * utilizing research to raise
awareness and enact change; * creating campus pantries, emergency
aid programs, and meal voucher initiatives to meet immediate needs;
* leveraging public benefits and nonprofit partnerships to provide
additional resources; * changing higher education systems and
college cultures to better serve students; and * drawing on student
activism and administrative clout to influence federal, state, and
local policies. Arguing that practice and policy are improved when
informed by research, Food Insecurity on Campus combines the power
of data with detailed storytelling to illustrate current
conditions. A foreword by Sara Goldrick-Rab further contextualizes
the problem. Offering concrete guidance to anyone seeking to
understand and support college students experiencing food
insecurity, the book encourages readers to draw from the lessons
learned to create a comprehensive strategy to fight student hunger.
