What many identify as the “housing situation” and the plague of financial instability on college campuses, has led to alarming high rates of homelessness and food insecurity, even at NC State University. Dr. Mary E Haskett, a NC State professor in the Department of Psychology and Co-Chair of the NC State Student Food and Housing Security Initiative, reminds us on this episode of Beyond The Bell Tower, that these issues are NOT inevitable.
This is Beyond the Bell Tower, a podcast for students enrolled in the TRIO Programs at NC State. Current students, alumni and community members share their personal stories to offer support and guidance to TRIO Program students. The episodes focus on all things related to academics, finances, career and personal development and culture to promote undergraduate and graduate school success relevant to the low-income, first-generation college student experience.
