00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:13.230 Megan Davis: blurred out. 34 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:14.700 Semhar Yohannes: Is it, saying. 35 00:04:15.450 --> 00:04:22.830 Megan Davis: So that's Okay, no that's true, I

everyone. 71 00:07:27.990 --> 00:07:28.500 Semhar Yohannes: Thank you. 72 00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:30.120 Semhar Yohannes: hi everyone. 73 00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:40.020 Semhar Yohannes: i'm the half of my colleague JASMINE shoemaker and I thank you for having us we've been looking forward to this presentation to discuss our ongoing project. 74 00:07:40.710 --> 00:07:50.430 Semhar Yohannes: We titled our presentation bridging the mind and body and mini collaboration within the library and hopefully by the end of this presentation, it will make sense. 75 00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:08.430 Jasmine Shumaker: hi everyone i'm JASMINE shoemaker reference and instruction librarian here at ubc and i've been at ubc for two years in a librarian for six years. 76 00:08:09.690 --> 00:08:11.220 Semhar Yohannes: And i'm somehow your hands. 77 00:08:11.430 --> 00:08:26.460 Semhar Yohannes: On the science reference instructional librarian at you NBC i've been at ubc for eight and a half years and i've been a librarian for 11 years i'm also the Chair of the health literacy working group and which is how I got involved in this project. 78 00:08:30.660 --> 00:08:44.760 Semhar Yohannes: Our presentation will examine the new partnership between the ubc library and the on campus food bank called the retrieval central's the new partnership birth in new mini pantry and the library. 79 00:08:45.780 --> 00:08:53.040 Semhar Yohannes: During this presentation we will examine the campus demographics and how that contributed to the need of a new pantry. 80 00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:12.810 Semhar Yohannes: We will review the timeline of this project, how we selected our food delivery model review our promotion strategy or statistics, in addition, we will provide tips to getting started, so you can establish your own pantry and then last, we will discuss our next steps. 81 00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:25.890 Jasmine Shumaker: So we thought it'd be a great idea to open up with a brief overview of our student makeup so as of fall 2021 we had over 13,000 students enrolled. 82 00:09:26.610 --> 00:09:45.390 Jasmine Shumaker: With 3000 of those being undergrads and grads from underrepresented minority communities Irish defined underrepresented minority as groups in the following races and ethnicities African American black Hispanic American Indian and native hawaiian students next slide. 83 00:09:49.020 --> 00:10:08.280 Jasmine Shumaker: here's a chart that displays the makeup of where the place of origin, our students come from so you're going to be see has more international students enrolled than students from other States combined keep this in mind as we discuss later, how to help how to meet the needs of the students. 84 00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:10.350 Next slide. 85 00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:26.310 Jasmine Shumaker: Now we're going to specifically look at our food insecure population at 2019 2020 survey conducted by retrievers central's of 260 UN BC students. 86 00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:40.050 Jasmine Shumaker: 24% stated that they did not have enough to eat at some time in the past 12 months 38% described not having adequate nutrition during winter and summer break in the past year. 87 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:48.630 Jasmine Shumaker: And 43% indicated that their academic performance had been affected in the past 12 months by lack of food. 88 00:10:49.530 --> 00:10:56.610 Jasmine Shumaker: In the follow up interviews with students participants added detail to the specifics of their experiences with food insecurity. 89 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:11.370 Jasmine Shumaker: Such as graduate students stipends that go primarily towards rent leaving very little left over for food or the obstacles international students face to obtaining culturally relevant foods near campus or transportation to grocery stores. 90 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:22.560 Jasmine Shumaker: When asked about retriever essentials in general, responding to express that different pickup points and maintaining confidentiality improved their experience with the organization. 91 00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:33.570 Jasmine Shumaker: Therefore, in addition to existing work, providing free food access across campus and added location, with a 24 hour pickup option was necessary. 92 00:11:34.290 --> 00:11:46.860 Jasmine Shumaker: Prior to our pantry being installed the closest pantry to us was the campus police station which some students did not feel comfortable getting food from next slide. 93 00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:54.480 Jasmine Shumaker: So here's a brief timeline of events that will hopefully show you how we got here today. 94 00:11:55.110 --> 00:12:05.490 Jasmine Shumaker: So in November of 2021 lydia Cinderella the program coordinator use our chat service to ask about access for specific article on food insecurity. 95 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:14.160 Jasmine Shumaker: i'd worked with one of the authors of the article before and the conversation easily morphed into food insecurity here at ubc. 96 00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:28.080 Jasmine Shumaker: We talked about retriever essentials and how the library might be a suitable partner for them, we quickly got Sam Horn involved who at the time was also the Chair of the health literacy working group and a budding partnership was born. 97 00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:41.760 Jasmine Shumaker: We knew we wanted to get the ball rolling on the space so in March of 2022 we consulted our building manager Sean Parker, then the team onboarding a new pantry coordinator Ariel Barbosa in April. 98 00:12:42.750 --> 00:12:59.100 Jasmine Shumaker: And then, finally, when she was quickly on boarded up to speed the new mini pantry went live on may 4, and all this is to say that you should not take any patron interaction for granted vital partnerships could be just one discussion away next slide. 99 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.370 Semhar Yohannes: We wanted the pantry to be. 100 00:13:05.370 --> 00:13:07.800 Semhar Yohannes: located in a place that was highly visible. 101 00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:17.880 Semhar Yohannes: and accessible, all of us involved quickly decided that the pantry needed to be on the first floor of the library, because the first floor of the library gets the most foot traffic. 102 00:13:18.690 --> 00:13:28.050 Semhar Yohannes: On a normal busy academic day we get around 1500 people to walk through the library be also one of the pantry to be accessible 24 hours. 103 00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:40.410 Semhar Yohannes: Our library is not open 24 hours, but the Atrium and the large workspace which is located on the first floor of the library, as you can see in the photo is open 24 hours. 104 00:13:41.130 --> 00:13:57.240 Semhar Yohannes: This workspace is called the retrieval learning Center or our llc Therefore, in order for the pantry to be highly visible and accessible, we decided to have the pantry on the first floor of the library at the front entrance of the retrieval learning Center. 105 00:14:02.130 --> 00:14:11.790 Semhar Yohannes: Our partners at the retrieval essentials informed us that there were several food delivery models are types of pantries that we could install in the library. 106 00:14:12.630 --> 00:14:21.510 Semhar Yohannes: These food delivery models were a traditional food traditional food pantry which is stocked with perishable and non perishable items. 107 00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:26.760 Semhar Yohannes: mini pantry which is stocked with non perishable items. 108 00:14:28.170 --> 00:14:34.170 Semhar Yohannes: A distribution Center, which is where students pick up grocery bags of non perishable foods. 109 00:14:35.520 --> 00:14:39.390 Semhar Yohannes: snack bar, which is basically a shelf of ready to go snacks. 110 00:14:40.710 --> 00:14:47.250 Semhar Yohannes: Because of issues of space safety and zoning We selected the mini pantry food delivery model. 111 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:59.700 Semhar Yohannes: In addition, the library employees were not asked to be responsible for managing or stocking the pantry this is done by a retrieval a central staff. 112 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:12.930 Semhar Yohannes: We only house and promote the mini pantry this mini pantries accessible to all, you NBC students and employees, there is no discrimination based on status or need. 113 00:15:18.270 --> 00:15:29.790 Jasmine Shumaker: In order to meet the needs of all food insecure students at ubc, including our international population we recognize the need for donations to include culturally inclusive foods. 114 00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:40.740 Jasmine Shumaker: here's a list of examples retriever central's recommend, we asked for in donations keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, but a good starting point. 115 00:15:42.510 --> 00:15:43.020 Next slide. 116 00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:46.890 Jasmine Shumaker: Now, entrepreneurship and marketing. 117 00:15:49.650 --> 00:16:07.230 Jasmine Shumaker: Once the space was finalized we new students already familiar with the rfc would see the new mini mini pantry just fine, but who wouldn't who is missing in the conversation who may be experiencing food insecurity and could benefit from this new initiative, and how can we reach them. 118 00:16:10.590 --> 00:16:19.830 Jasmine Shumaker: In short, three groups to outreach to were born the most obvious was student groups we identified the student government association as GA. 119 00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:30.300 Jasmine Shumaker: And the graduate student association GSA as our first two groups to outreach to because I had served with members of these groups on a faculty Senate Committee. 120 00:16:30.810 --> 00:16:41.370 Jasmine Shumaker: I reached out to these contacts in order to ask if they could spread the word for us, they happily agreed, including adding messaging to their own personal, social media accounts. 121 00:16:41.970 --> 00:16:55.740 Jasmine Shumaker: The latter messaging on social media was not asked for, but we appreciate it, as this may have played a role and putting a personalized touch on messaging hopefully working to D stigmatize the usage of food pantries. 122 00:16:56.760 --> 00:17:05.850 Jasmine Shumaker: The next group or our faculty groups faculty members don't frequent the rfc as often as students, we thought, including them would be beneficial. 123 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:17.400 Jasmine Shumaker: We encourage faculty to spread the word of our new mini pantry to their students and among their departments, we believe word of mouth to be an effective way to report this new initiative. 124 00:17:18.690 --> 00:17:29.010 Jasmine Shumaker: And last we depended on our colleagues within the library, though, the public facing departments would be our colleagues who would benefit the most from this new information. 125 00:17:29.490 --> 00:17:39.360 Jasmine Shumaker: We made sure to update the entire building on the new mini pantry at the library Assembly meeting, including providing usage updates in the first few weeks. 126 00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:50.280 Jasmine Shumaker: This was to ensure that word of mouth would spread beyond patron service points and to really drive home to our peers, that this was a necessary addition to the library space. 127 00:17:51.150 --> 00:18:00.840 Jasmine Shumaker: The library's health literacy working group coordinated with our webmaster to promote digital signage and work with the university health services to promote the pantry. 128 00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:12.180 Jasmine Shumaker: seminar in the health literacy Working Group also coordinated with lydia to deliver multiple presentations to our colleagues on food insecurity here on campus and ways to help in general. 129 00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:16.530 Next time. 130 00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:23.940 Semhar Yohannes: So what are the results of this mini pantry. 131 00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:25.680 Semhar Yohannes: Are people using it. 132 00:18:25.950 --> 00:18:27.360 Semhar Yohannes: How often are they using it. 133 00:18:31.650 --> 00:18:42.990 Semhar Yohannes: For many pantry went live on may fourth right before finance within two weeks of this mini pantry been installed 200 pounds of food was distributed. 134 00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:55.830 Semhar Yohannes: Which shouldn't really be a surprise because, by the end of the Semester many students are running out of money they most likely underestimated their food needs poorly managed their phones, etc. 135 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.070 Semhar Yohannes: Basically, the mini pantry was vital. 136 00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:08.130 Semhar Yohannes: A little short anecdotal story was shared with us the person who stalks the pantry told us that. 137 00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:24.870 Semhar Yohannes: There was a day, where she came in and she was starting the mini pantry and, as she was starting the mini patriots students were coming and taking things off the shot simultaneously basically highlighting the need for this in the pantry. 138 00:19:30.210 --> 00:19:45.570 Semhar Yohannes: If you feel inspired by this presentation we wanted to give you some helpful tips to start your own pantry you saw this list, as you can see, on the slide during our research we liked it and we wanted to share it with some modifications. 139 00:19:46.830 --> 00:20:01.650 Semhar Yohannes: So it's really important that you first profile your community, you need to know who's on your campus who needs the service, because that will determine, for instance, what type of food you use or excuse me that you stock your pantry. 140 00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:07.050 Semhar Yohannes: partner with and on campus organization who's already doing this work. 141 00:20:08.340 --> 00:20:14.400 Semhar Yohannes: This is not the typical arena of the library so linking with others who are experts is beneficial. 142 00:20:16.290 --> 00:20:23.490 Semhar Yohannes: Research read and learn what other libraries have done what models they've selected what locations they picked. 143 00:20:23.820 --> 00:20:41.610 Semhar Yohannes: partners that they've worked with because it's not always the open 24 hour workspace it's not always in many countries where the library employees don't necessarily stop or work the pantry itself, there are many different models, there are many different locations, that you can select. 144 00:20:43.620 --> 00:21:01.170 Semhar Yohannes: Get admin buying both both from the library and on campus one of our partners, was the library building manager, who was 100% supportive and who was really good at identifying, for instance zoning issues and addressing them and taking care of them on our behalf. 145 00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:22.020 Semhar Yohannes: Take stats and give regular updates to the library to keep the staff engaged and inform the retrieval essential coordinator JASMINE and myself gave multiple presentations multiple updates to the library to keep them informed and engaged. 146 00:21:28.890 --> 00:21:36.810 Jasmine Shumaker: We realize is just the beginning of what's to come for many pantry so here are a few plans we have in mind for the future. 147 00:21:38.970 --> 00:21:45.360 Jasmine Shumaker: Currently we're co authoring a paper with lydia that will go more in depth about the process as we discussed today. 148 00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:52.110 Jasmine Shumaker: We are open to other publication opportunities, including collaborating with food insecurity experts. 149 00:21:53.070 --> 00:21:59.730 Jasmine Shumaker: we're also working with a traverse central's to revamp our current food donation box within the library's Atrium. 150 00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:15.150 Jasmine Shumaker: Hopefully, leading to more donations for those visiting the library, once this occurs, we hope to hold a food drive sometime in the fall Semester, which will supply, not only are many pantry but other pantries across campus. 151 00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:29.520 Jasmine Shumaker: seminar, and I also hope to create a live guide that will give statistical information on food insecurity at ubc Resources for Food insecure students and a general many pantry updates overall. 152 00:22:30.780 --> 00:22:42.390 Jasmine Shumaker: In addition, we recognize the need for more targeted promotional opportunities, this includes directly reaching out to specific international student groups first your transfer students and more. 153 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:53.010 Jasmine Shumaker: outreach to establish orientations, such as department undergrad and Grad orientations new faculty orientation and more should also take place. 154 00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.110 Excellent. 155 00:22:58.170 --> 00:23:05.250 Jasmine Shumaker: Now that we've kind of shared what we have done in order to push this initiative through we'd love to hear from you. 156 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:25.350 Jasmine Shumaker: we'd like to ask you one question at a time and feel free to either unmute or put your questions or answers in chat do you see this being a possible initiative at your own library why or why not and we'll give it a few minutes it feel free to unmute or put your answers in chat. 157 00:23:38.040 --> 00:23:41.490 Jasmine Shumaker: Oh, I think diane has a something that she'd like to say, go ahead diane. 158 00:23:42.690 --> 00:23:48.630 Diane Kearney: To get my video on hi i'm diane carney i'm with the northern Virginia Community college. 159 00:23:49.830 --> 00:24:04.080 Diane Kearney: And we definitely have a similar population that your university is serving with a very much of a lot of students that are food insecure. 160 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:21.840 Diane Kearney: We do have a food pantry that is located in the student life office, but because of staffing shortages students have to either knock on the door to get in for someone to come from one of the back offices or if not, if it is after. 161 00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:30.090 Diane Kearney: The time when those people are gone, which is five o'clock they have to then go to the police office to be let in. 162 00:24:31.290 --> 00:24:51.930 Diane Kearney: So we are looking at, not so much a mini pantry, but I think the snack bar concept for here in the library, we do have a space that we could give to it, and we are not open 24 seven either the campuses and even within 24 seven, but at least we are open. 163 00:24:53.430 --> 00:25:06.330 Diane Kearney: You know, Monday through Friday and we are open till seven on Monday to Thursday, so this is something where we are looking at to do as well. 164 00:25:07.410 --> 00:25:21.000 Diane Kearney: The barriers to what you know that may currently exist is either enough donations supplying the student life that they could share those some of those resources with us. 165 00:25:22.560 --> 00:25:35.160 Diane Kearney: You know, so these are these are things that we are now looking at and that's why I was so thrilled to see that you guys were doing a presentation on this, so I can bring some more information to my proposal. 166 00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:43.350 Semhar Yohannes: Thank you so to address your um one of the barriers that you mentioned. 167 00:25:44.850 --> 00:25:56.100 Semhar Yohannes: retrieval central the food bank put out a call for donation and they put out a call throughout the entire campus so it showed up in faculty Senate and i've been sta turn off everywhere. 168 00:25:56.460 --> 00:26:12.810 Semhar Yohannes: And they were overwhelmed with donation they're still processing all of the donation so um you know don't hesitate to ask your faculty your ask your staff for donation you'll be surprised if I think we were happily surprised. 169 00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:15.000 Diane Kearney: Thank you. 170 00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:19.680 Jasmine Shumaker: Along with that also diane we also. 171 00:26:20.760 --> 00:26:32.940 Jasmine Shumaker: retriever central's recommended that we do like a food drive competition at the library they recommended like food for fines type of thing, since we no longer have library finds anymore. 172 00:26:33.210 --> 00:26:37.530 Jasmine Shumaker: It was kind of pointless to take that approach, but that also might be a way for you to. 173 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:43.290 Jasmine Shumaker: garner more donations, if your if your library still also has find. 174 00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:58.440 Diane Kearney: That we could get student like to supply us with sort of more popular titles general interest titles, that we could do food donations for drawings for those books, maybe because, like you, we don't have fines. 175 00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:01.320 Jasmine Shumaker: Probably for the best. 176 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:16.860 Semhar Yohannes: Also on seek donation from your staff, one of the thumb so kind of a slightly strange problem to have good problem, but when we when the mini pantry went live. 177 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:32.580 Semhar Yohannes: On the people in the library very generously started to donate from their own pantry to are many fans, to the point that, can you please not because we were taking stats and we needed those stats to be accurate, so we have. 178 00:27:32.580 --> 00:27:45.420 Semhar Yohannes: To tell them instead of donating to the mini pantry can you donate to the donation box that we have in the library, so you know seek assistance from your fellow colleagues. 179 00:27:46.170 --> 00:28:01.860 Diane Kearney: And we already do that, I mean we do not get funds, one of our other campus libraries get actually gets funds for snacks for students and such we do.so we buy that out of our own pockets for when we have. 180 00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:11.970 Diane Kearney: things in the library, so that is something that we are already doing supporting feeding our students, even if it's only breakfast bars. 181 00:28:12.870 --> 00:28:13.710 Semhar Yohannes: that's still something. 182 00:28:17.910 --> 00:28:18.750 Semhar Yohannes: Does anybody. 183 00:28:21.090 --> 00:28:23.970 Semhar Yohannes: predict that you may have trouble for instance with admin. 184 00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:28.380 Semhar Yohannes: see them, maybe as being a barrier instead of. 185 00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.690 Semhar Yohannes: A supporter an acid. 186 00:28:52.620 --> 00:28:53.910 Megan Davis: Any other questions. 187 00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:05.700 Megan Davis: I have a question actually um so I know you did touch on it, but then I I got confused. 188 00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:18.690 Megan Davis: You said, there are multiple locations for pantries across your campus are they all handled by the same group or there's sort of different groups that do the different pantries. 189 00:29:19.530 --> 00:29:21.900 Jasmine Shumaker: they're all handled by retriever essentials. 190 00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:35.430 Jasmine Shumaker: So there's one we have the mini pantry there's also another pantry in the police station there's one in the Rack, which is our activity Center I believe there might be one seminar in the women's Center. 191 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.900 Semhar Yohannes: they're not all. 192 00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:39.270 Semhar Yohannes: They have different food delivery. 193 00:29:39.270 --> 00:29:50.670 Semhar Yohannes: models, so the one in the police station is, I believe, a distribution Center so students can anonymously fill out a form and pick up grocery bags. 194 00:29:51.030 --> 00:29:52.080 Semhar Yohannes: and hopefully station. 195 00:29:52.320 --> 00:30:03.900 Semhar Yohannes: there's a snack bar in the women's Center there's a mini pantry and another location, that I don't know and in the Rack, which is our former gym. 196 00:30:04.350 --> 00:30:20.730 Semhar Yohannes: Okay, that is, I believe the main headquarters, with the big distribution Center the big pantry we're basically where students can pick up grocery bags students can there's a call go grocery shopping like it just is catch all everything. 197 00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:29.910 Megan Davis: And do you ever get to see the statistics of because i'm assuming they track the statistics by pickup location. 198 00:30:31.290 --> 00:30:33.630 Semhar Yohannes: um I think JASMINE can talk a little bit more. 199 00:30:34.710 --> 00:30:43.200 Jasmine Shumaker: yeah so we've only received the statistics for our mini pantry, however, because we are collaborating with lydia on a paper currently. 200 00:30:43.830 --> 00:30:59.580 Jasmine Shumaker: We will be using those statistics overall for the paper, so we don't have access to the larger broader sense, but we are using statistics, especially now to justify still having the pantry while struck throughout the summer months. 201 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.410 Megan Davis: That was this general curiosity question, I mean not that you want friendly competition between. 202 00:31:04.410 --> 00:31:08.160 Megan Davis: departments, but oh Dan has another question. 203 00:31:09.150 --> 00:31:16.080 Diane Kearney: So what do these statistics look at I mean I they tracking the types of food that are being picked up. 204 00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:24.360 Diane Kearney: Because i'm not sure that even our food pantry in student life keep statistics, they may. 205 00:31:26.010 --> 00:31:28.620 Diane Kearney: But how are those statistics done. 206 00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:46.410 Jasmine Shumaker: they're tracking type of food picked up their tracking number of pounds actually taken from the pantries themselves so within our first two weeks of having our mini pantry 200 pounds I think we're taking off the pantry just in that short time frame. 207 00:31:47.670 --> 00:31:55.860 Jasmine Shumaker: So yeah those are their main statistics for that they use to justify their need to continue to to stop the pantries. 208 00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.510 Diane Kearney: Thank you. 209 00:32:02.010 --> 00:32:03.990 Megan Davis: Any other questions or. 210 00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:08.370 know. 211 00:32:11.190 --> 00:32:18.240 Megan Davis: Well, thank you so much for for presenting this was really interesting I never thought about it, since i'm from a global campus but. 212 00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:30.930 Megan Davis: Alright, well, if anyone has any more questions now's the time, otherwise I would like to thank smart seminar I know printing seven times seminar and JASMINE. 213 00:32:32.370 --> 00:32:36.090 Megan Davis: For the really interesting presentation i'd never even thought about. 214 00:32:37.770 --> 00:32:54.600 Megan Davis: Like food insecurity, because I, as the host I work at a global campus so we don't have a you know physical location, but that's really exciting to have the library involved in addressing students needs not just research needs but physical needs as well, so thank you. 215 00:32:55.020 --> 00:32:55.890 Jasmine Shumaker: Thanks everyone. 216 00:32:56.130 --> 00:32:56.760 Thanks everyone.
