Campus Co-op

We want YOU to get involved with the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma Campus Co-op! 

Our students having healthy, well-balanced meals everyday, throughout the day is very important to us. We recognize not all students have that option, and that's why we're getting involved and we need your help!

USAO recently surveyed faculty, staff, and students to assess the need for a campus food pantry. Based on the survey results, we are expanding the existing food pantry located on campus. 

Eighty-six percent of the students either strongly agreed or agreed that a food pantry was needed at USAO; 68% of the faculty and staff felt this same way. Furthermore, 30% of the students surveyed answered yes to the question While a student at USAO has there ever been a time when you did not have enough food for yourself?

The goal of the Campus Co-op is to help these students achieve food security, defined by the USDA as “access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life."
