My goal for this project was to reduce the number of University of Minnesota students currently experiencing food insecurity or prevent the occurrence in students. One objective was to create and send an email to students with qualifying information and directions needed to enroll in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). After qualifying students enrolled my intent was to track the number of students to gather statistics in an effort to provide information on the need for resources to address food insecure on campus. The email was completed and sent to random students. However, tracking those students that successfully enroll in SNAP will not occur before the project presentation is due in class. Another objective was to provide

Neuman states the core health of the client system is much like the nucleus of an atom. The atom has an outer shell that protects the nucleus much like the client system is orbited by defensive lines. These defensive lines can be disturbed and eventually penetrated by a physiological assault. Once penetrated, the client system is subjected to stressors which may result in an imbalance or illness. It is the nurse’s responsibility to intervene on the client system’s behalf when disturbances are noted, such as the disturbance food insecurity can bring to the physiological well-being of the client. The nurse is then responsible for providing interventions which may help the client increase their defense system. Nurse interventions in this project included reaching out to those students that qualify with information and links so they may enroll in SNAP, reporting on the food pantry resource in which all university students may benefit with no need to qualify for assistance, providing information on stores within walking distance that have limited but available fresh food, and creating a resource guide so other staff may guide students towards maintaining their lines of defense through adaptation of their surroundings and
