Melissa in the Morning: Food Insecurity for College Students

Did you know: food insecurity is one of the biggest non-academic barriers to Connecticut college student success?

We spoke with CSCU Chancellor Terrence Cheng about providing affordable food options on the 17 campuses under the CSCU umbrella. We also talked about the recently approved, new Transfer Credit Alignment Policy.
