Dear Southwestern University Community Member,

You are invited to participate in a research study to assess food security among the Southwestern campus community. You are being recruited as a possible participant because you are a member of the Southwestern community (student, faculty and/or staff). Your participation is voluntary and should only take 5-7 minutes. As per Institutional Review Board requirements, all identifying variables will be removed in order to maintain confidentiality. Completed surveys will be stored on a password-protected computer for 5 years and then destroyed unless needed for ongoing research. There are no direct benefits to participation in this study, however, your participation will help support future funding applications that will aid in the growth and sustainability of our campus pantry program.  

If you are interested in participating please click the link below to complete the Qualtrics survey.

Please do not hesitate to email me (mikanv@southwestern.edu ) if you have any questions or concerns.

I greatly appreciate your support and assistance. Thank you!  

No worries,

The library has several  white tabletop power outlet stations.  Recently, we noticed at least 3 are missing. They are marked with "Smith Library Center" and a number on the top and/ or bottom. Some may have a red "Library Use Only" sticker on them. If you see any of these in non-library buildings, please return them to the Library Infodesk.  They are missed! Thank you.
