“Fostering student wellbeing by alleviating the mental pressures of food and essential supply insecurities while providing a greater ability to focus on academic goals and the overall student experience”
The Poke Pantry maintains a wide variety of non-perishable food, hygiene, cleaning, and other essentials, supporting the overall well-being of McNeese students.
Students will select a day and time to claim their pantry items. Students should not attempt to retrieve their own items from the pantry.
Pickup times are the following:
The Poke Pantry is located in the Holbrook Student Union Annex (New Ranch) near the Einstein Bros food court. Access is restricted to Student Services staff. Students with scheduled pickups must check in at the Student Services office, Suite 207, located on the 2nd floor of the New Ranch.

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
