Celebrating Aggie Compass

Students should be able to focus on their classwork, not where their next meal is going to come from, organizers said Thursday (June 14) at a celebration for the newly opened Aggie Compass center in the Memorial Union.

“Students can’t succeed if they are going to every class hungry,” said Leslie Kemp, the director of Aggie Compass.

The center provides services to students in need — for now, it’s focused on food security and hands out free produce and helps students apply for CalFresh assistance, but organizers plan to expand to focus on financial and housing security.

Emily Galindo, interim vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said the center “signals our commitment to solving the challenges students face.”
