Food Waste, Promotion and Marketing Student Project

May 12, 2017

Quantity Food Practicum students conducted a food waste, promotion and marketing project with Dining Commons. In February, students measured both the amount of food that was thrown away at Dining Commons during lunch and student attitudes about food waste. Students then developed a promotional activity and marketing material to help students become more aware of food waste. In late March, students then implemented their activity in Dining Commons. After implementing the activity, students returned to Dining Commons in April to remeasure student’s food waste and attitudes about food waste. Though a decrease was not seen in food waste, students were more aware and interested in the subject.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
