Food Pantry
Recent inventory shows that our students are accessing the food pantry more than in the last several years. This resource will receive additional support in the following ways:
The Food Pantry hours will be temporarily expanded to allow for more access to students with evening commitments. Anytime the Campus Center building is open, the Food Pantry is open.
Access to the space will further be opened in response to student needs and our staffing capability. Students will not need a key, the door will remain unlocked.
COVID 19
Rapid tests are available at the MountainOne Wellness center or, one of the nurses can administer a test during an office visit.
