Classes are back in session, and we are kicking off fall semester with a discussion with the Food Research & Action Center’s SNAP Deputy Director, Andrew Cheyne. We talk about the temporary expansion of SNAP eligibility for college students, and how we can work to permanently expand access to SNAP and better meet the needs of current college students.  References:  Do you think you may be eligible for SNAP?
