Resources & Political Science with a minor in Sustainability in Fall 2020. She helped
start the Taskforce in 2019, and has been leading and managing it ever since. Part
of the joy she finds in serving on the Taskforce is that she is able to merge her

ASUW Vice President; Taskforce Co-Coordinator
I am in my fourth year here at UW studying Secondary English Education and Psychology.
I joined the Task Force in the spring of 2020 when I took office as the ASUW Vice
President. The Task Force is grounded in a strong partnership between ASUW and the
Sustainability Coalition and I wanted to ensure the good work that was started by
those before me continued. Now, I serve as co-leader on the Task Force and am a primary
liaison for ASUW to the Task Force.
ASUW Director of Wellness and Sustainability
Hello, my name is Haley Harris and this year I have had the pleasure to serve as ASUWs
Director of Wellness and Sustainability. While I've only been a part of the taskforce
for a brief amount of time, this group has been able to make unbelievable strides
towards supporting students' basic necessities. Aside from the leadership role that
this position plays in the taskforce, the top priority is to ensure that students
are represented throughout the process.
Graduate Student- Family and Consumer Sciences
I am a 2nd year Graduate Student studying Food Science and Human Nutrition. My primary
involvement in the food security taskforce is as a member of the Survey Analysis and
Communication working group. The University of Wyoming Taskforce has lofty goals of
sharing more food with more people and fostering a community of togetherness through
amazing initiatives, such as the Food Share Pantry, Food Share Cabinets, and other
upcoming programs. Because of the amazing faculty, staff, and students on the taskforce
it is an honor to be a part of the taskforce.
