Every Poke Nourished: Assessing University of Wyoming Students’ Experiences with and Priorities for Addressing Food Insecurity


Abstract Our 2020 survey of University of Wyoming students (n = 1328) found that 46.8% of them experienced food insecurity, with students of color and international students disproportionately affected. Respondents supported all presented food security strategies but prioritized a subsidized campus grocery. Thematic analysis showed students urged systemic approaches to address underlying aspects of food insecurity, culturally appropriate and high-quality food, stigma reduction, free food, and direct financial assistance. Findings illustrate the need for targeted equity strategies to support groups of students who disproportionately experience food insecurity; justice-informed approaches that center student priorities and insights; and standardized assessments within and across institutions.
