In the spring 2013 semester, UAA students Nathaniel Chriest and Rachel Wintz presented their research on the food security of students at UAA, suggesting that about 17 percent of students surveyed find themselves without a sufficient amount of food once or twice a month. In Alaska, 14.6 percent of the population is food insecure, which could translate to a high portion of the student population that does not have access to sufficient food for an active and healthy life.
