Comet Cupboard combats food insecurity on campus with added support from North Texas Food Bank and a new student-run farm.
When UTD’s Office of Undergraduate Education first decided to launch a food pantry, Hillary Beauchamp Campbell, director of undergraduate programs at UTD, was in for a challenge. The space she had to work with was about the size of a storage closet, taken up by a large German electronic filing cabinet.

During the pandemic, the Comet Cupboard was able to continue serving students experiencing food insecurity. But doing so safely required some creativity, said Uyen Van “Bel” Khuu, a student coordinator.
