Briefly

The City University of New York has launched the Mountain Lion Food Pantry at Macaulay Honors College, the first of its kind in a network addressing food insecurity. This initiative, backed by the Women at Amazon group, aims to supply essential food without cost. Chancellor Felix V. Matos Rodriguez emphasized the pantry's role in removing obstacles to student success, while Dean Dara N. Byrne highlighted the pantry’s significance in offering dignity and community support, assuring students they are not alone. Recent data reveals a staggering 40% of CUNY students face food insecurity, highlighting the need for such resources.
This pantry is more than just a resource; it is a promise. A promise that no student should have to choose between coming to Macaulay and buying a meal.
CUNY is always working to tear down any roadblocks that may prevent a student from focusing on their success.
