The University of Kentucky's College of Public Health (CPH) and the Student Public Health Association (SPHA) are sponsoring a faculty/staff food drive to donate to the Big Blue Pantry on campus from November 9th - 16th.
Located in the basement of White Hall Classroom Building (room 025) next to the Post Office, the Big Blue Pantry is open to any University of Kentucky student with a valid UK ID experiencing food insecurity or hunger.
A recent campus study found that more than 40% of UK students experience some level of food insecurity during their college career.
To support Big Blue Pantry's mission, we are asking our CPH community to come together to donate certain non-perishable items which can be dropped off in our Student Engagement & Academic Success (SEAS) office in Suite 120 at Research Facility #1 located at 111 Washington Avenue on campus.
Non-perishable items requested:
Vegetarian and gluten-free options needed.
The University of Kentucky College of Public Health is undergoing a review by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for re-accreditation. Part of this process includes the invitation to provide third-party comments. Anyone, including students, alumni, employers, community partners, etc., is allowed to share relevant information about the college directly with CEPH. If you would like to provide input to CEPH to inform their review, send your comments to submissions@ceph.org by May 4th, 2025.
