As a first-generation student it is important to take care of your basic needs before you can address career exploration and management. Food access is one of these important needs. If you have questions, feel free to reach out and schedule an appointment with one of our Career Advisors through Handshake.
If you are facing food insecurity, you may also access the Food Pantry on campus. The Food Pantry is dedicated to challenging the rising issue of student food insecurity on campus by supporting and serving all students and postdocs at the University of Rochester.
