Jamil Niner Student Pantry
The Jamil Niner Student Pantry is located at 1224 John Kirk Drive, Charlotte, NC (704-687-5323). Located next to the Edge Apartments and accessible for students commuting by car or foot. The pantry provides assistance to UNC Charlotte undergraduate AND graduate students that struggle with food insecurity. In 2013 the USDA defined food insecurity as a condition that occurs when people do not have enough resources to feed themselves. We offer a variety of nutritious meals and frequently give demonstrations on what meals can be made with the food in the pantry. Due to COVID19 hours are currently Tuesdays 2:00-5:00pm and Wednesdays 2:00-5:00pm preorder only.
Ombudsman
The Graduate Student Ombudsman can help students navigate challenges including policies, resources, resolving conflict, navigating financial challenges, better understanding policies and appeals…really anything that can impact your academic progress. The Ombudsman is available for consultation with graduate students on any issue a student may be facing that they would prefer not to share with their normal advisors. Discussions with the ombudsman are confidential to the extent possible.
