FUEL NKU: Service learning in a dynamic higher education community

Abstract

Transdisciplinary initiatives offer valuable opportunity for students and faculty members to address community challenges, especially those challenges related to social justice. FUEL NKU is a campus food pantry for students at a metropolitan university, and is uniquely situated to serve the student population while incorporating multi-faceted aspects of a macro level project. This paper describes a collaboration among two doctoral students, one faculty member, and one MSW practicum student to address long-term sustainability of a beloved campus program.
