The Panther Resource Closet (PRC) officially opened in January 2018 at the W.A. Lettinga Campus. The PRC stocks unopened non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, and new or gently used professional clothing that is in style, clean, and in good condition. The closet has a grab-and-go model, and is designed to provide these resources free of charge to all enrolled students who might need them. The PRC is located on the lower level of the academic building near the main elevator and is accessible whenever the building is open.
The PRC-Pantry opened as an extended service on the W.A. Lettinga Campus during the Fall 2022 semester. The PRC-Pantry was created to tackle food insecurity on our campus by offering additional food items including cooking items, refrigerated items, and bulkier items. To access this resource students are asked to set an appointment with the PRC-Pantry appointment form. Appointments can be made twice a month per student visitor.
Several other DU campuses also have similar resources available.
