Food and nutrition faculty members Rebecca Hagedorn-Hatfield and Lanae Hood are passionate about food insecurity on college campuses, having researched the issue for nearly 10 years.

Their interest in addressing food insecurity goes beyond academic curiosity. Both experienced it personally during their own college years, which means they have an intimate understanding of its impact on student success in college. 

In this video, they talk about what’s working, what’s not, and what can be done to end food insecurity among college students. They believe raising awareness is a critical first step to help stop food insecurity on Meredith’s campus.
