October 25: Food Security in Higher Education

SUB Alumni Lounge, 12-1 pm

National data shows that 1 in 3 college students will experience food insecurity during their time in school. Join us to deepend your knowledge of what it means to be food insecure, learn how MSU is tackling this problem, and leave a newly minted food security
advocate!

Margaret Davies, Basic Needs Program Manager at Montana State University (MSU), is an expert in food security programming. She recently completed her MSPH in Health Policy from Johns Hopkins University, focusing her studies in basic needs and adolescent health policy interventions. Margaret currently manages the Off-Campus Student Life program at MSU which serves as a basic needs resource center for students in need of housing navigation, experiencing food insecurity or homelessness, or requiring legal assistance.

November 15: Building MSU Families, a new program to
support Indigenous students’ well-being and build family across MSU

SUB 168, 12-1 pm

We all benefit from more connection and family. The Building MSU Families program is an exciting opportunity for Indigenous students and MSU faculty/staff to develop relationships that build family and community during and after the students journey at MSU. Building MSU Families links Indigenous students with a faculty/staff member to provide a connection, boost, and support, such as what a family member provides. They are a student’s local auntie/uncle/relative. The presenters will share information about this new program at MSU.
