91µ¼º½

In hopes to eliminate food insecurity for college students in Marion, 91µ¼º½ Marion faculty and students take on a health and wellness initiative by bringing free fresh fruits and vegetables to campus. With the help of the Mid-Ohio Food Pantry and other sponsors, every 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month through April, about 150 students are served by the Fresh Express Market. This is an event that not only helps ensure the well being of our students, but also brings together faculty members, students, and staff as one strong community.

Interested in working on your own research? Thinking about doing an Independent Study or Thesis? Want to know how to get started? Students are invited to join their peers and faculty for free coffee, baked goods, and open discussion any day, Nov. 27-Dec.1. Listen to groups of 91µ¼º½ Marion students describe their research experience. Have the chance to ask questions about how to start your own research. Meet faculty who will help you get the whole process started.
