Take our Student Survey! Your Thoughts on Campus Food Waste

Students in Business & Organizations 351: International Entrepreneurial Exchange, are conducting a survey based on the eating habits of college students as well as understanding your thoughts on how food waste is handled on our campus.

This information will be used for our business concept, EcoEats Campus. Our idea, EcoEats Campus, is a student-centric app designed to reduce food waste on university campuses while providing affordable and convenient meal options for students. With this idea, we hope to connect the dining facilities with one-stop kiosks for students to purchase extra meals as a way to reduce the amount of waste & food insecurity on campus.

Please feel free to take our survey to help further our market research for our product. Thank you! https://forms.gle/kiXVchniK7iSqLFA6

Gift of Life Drive

Join Alpha Phi Omega (APO) at the KC 1st floor on Friday, November 15th, between 3-6 p.m., for a Gift of Life drive. We are asking students and community members to stop by and donate oral swabs to help find plasma/platelet/bone marrow matches for those in need of life-saving transplants.

It’s a quick, painless process that could make all the difference for someone battling terminal illness, and every swab increases the chances of a patient finding their perfect match, bringing hope to individuals and families awaiting transplants.

APO thanks you in advance for your generosity and commitment to making a lasting impact, and we look forward to seeing you there!
