Food Pantry

In this communication class I have learned many ways to communicate my ideas through a variety of concepts. Also, working in groups has enabled me to learn a lot, and express my thoughts, and words. However, for my final project I have chosen to talk about an organization that many students are not aware that existed on campus. I used a multimedia art performance as my communication concept to communicate to students about the values of this organization, what it stands for, how impacted students on campus, and what it does. This origination LSU food pantry is located on campus to serve and provide supplemental food to students who experience hunger and food insecurity, food insecurity is basically not having fast and permanent sources of food.

The multimedia art performance will take a place at the theater at the student center at the Union on a Thursday night, since most students are free around that time. Using projectors and sound speakers to display a short video to introduce what the LSU food pantry does and explain its services on campus.
