Studies show as many as 45 percent of college students experience food insecurity, and according to the American Psychological Association, students who are food insecure have lower self-esteem and lower grade-point averages and are more likely to withdraw from the university before earning their degrees.

“We are so grateful to our clients for sharing so candidly how they are enabling a connected experience across the spectrum of student life,” said Rachael Sepcic, vice president, Transact. “The presentations and discussion share specialized knowledge and expertise that help institutions increase productivity, save time and resources, and learn best practices. Just as our clients help one another and us by participating, we are more than happy to help their students persist and succeed by supporting these critical areas of need.”
