Accessibility Of On-Campus Food Pantries: A Comparative Review, Jayden Parrott
Honors Projects
This project explores ways in which food pantries across Ohio college campuses are accommodating for those with food restrictions such as food allergies, religious diets, or personal choice (vegan/vegetarian).

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions and the problem is only continuing to grow (Flegal, 2006).

Education is one way to promote healthy changes by college students. It is important to find out what knowledge of health and exercise college students already have. I developed a questionnaire with content-related validity and …
