Food insecurity is a global issue — one that impacts some students at NDSU. In a fall 2019 study conducted by Meghan Yerhot, NDSU doctoral student and food pantry coordinator, 38% of NDSU students reported not having enough or adequate food, an issue that can affect students’ grades as well as their mental and physical health.
