Abstract | Community colleges nationwide rally to meet President Obama's challenge of adding five million graduates by 2020. However, many institutions continue to experience declining retention and attempt lackluster solutions to bolster student success. One often overlooked factor in need of investigation is the impact of food insecurity, an inadequate level of nutritional and safe food or the inability to obtain foods in a socially acceptable manner. The researchers for this project will investigate the levels of food insecurity and the relationship to student success defined as what students must do to complete their college program successfully. For this project, student success includes two elements that can lead to completion--concentration levels and energy levels, and one traditional metric of success, grade point average (GPA). This study will be conducted on Maryland community college students (Spaid, 2016). This phase 2 report is the qualitative segment of the project in which food pantry administrators from six Maryland Community Colleges agreed to share their lived experiences in establishing and maintaining food pantries on campus. The Interview Protocol is appended. (As Provided). |
