IAIA Expands Student Pantry
The IAIA
Pantry
has been fully reopened, and
recently relocated in the student union wing of the Student Union Building. To date, the
Pantry
has had over 123 visitors in Fall 2019. All indicators are self-reported to keep with the
Pantry
visitor’s anonymity. Additionally, over 690 pounds of donations have been added to The
Pantry
in Fall 2019. A number generated by those who check-in their donations with the Student Success Advisor while others donated anonymously by leaving donations in The
Pantry
space. IAIA Academics Department lead two donation drives during Fall 2019 and IAIA Alpha Chi lead a food donation drive and provided a turkey donation to students with family living in the IAIA Casitas.
