A recent study of NC State students showed that 14 % of our students were food insecure in the past 30 days and 9.6% had experienced homelessness in the past year. Want to know how to help students? (Note – this info is also on the DBS Advisors’ Resources Blog under the “Helping a student…” here.)
Refer students to the PackEssentials Website, where they can find info on Food and Housing, Emergency Funds, and other campus services.
