GRAB AND GO HUB
Main Campus Location: Student Center-101
Monroe Center Location: Next to Welcome Center desk
Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Grab and Go Hubs are located at both the Main Campus and Monroe Center. They provide grab and go snacks intended to help carry students over between classes. Students are invited to visit the Hubs and take up to two items per day. No financial or personal questions are asked to access the Hubs, but students are requested to scan the QR code on the cabinet door to record the date of their visit. Free, fresh popcorn is also available in Student Leadership & Engagement (Student Center, room H101) Monday – Friday from 9:30am-3:30pm.
COUGAR PODS (Food Lockers)
Location: Outside Student Center-100
Cougar Pods provide food options for students who are on campus in the evenings when offices are closed and may need a bit more than a quick grab and go snack. Food items may change from week to week but primarily consist of soup, cereal, rice, pasta, and other non-perishable items including some organic and ethnic options. Hygiene items are also available on a limited basis.
Students who are interested in visiting the Cougar Pods will complete the Cougar Pods Request Form. The form requires an FCC ID number and basic demographic information – no financial questions are asked.
Students who have registered will receive an email or text with instructions on how to access the pods. Instructions will include a window of time in which the food will be available, a pod number, and a unique code allowing access to the pod which will contain a grocery bag of food. Students are welcome to take what they want and can leave items they don’t need.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Location: Student Center-101
In addition to the personal items available through the CougarMart and Cougar Pods, the Student Leadership & Engagement office distributes free feminine products, condoms, and basic first aid supplies to students.
