Weigh the Waste

Sustainability at �� has a Zero Waste by 2025 initiative. In Fall 2023, Sodexo and Sustainability teamed up for their Weigh the Waste program. A couple times a semester Sustainability goes to Campus Way Cafe to weigh food waste. Instead of Campus Way Cafe customers throwing the food they didn't eat away, Sustainability collects all of the food waste and weighs the waste. Through this program, they can gather the weight and inform students on how much food goes wasted. The goal is to slowly minimilize food waste by consciously grabbing only the food that will be consumed.

Swipe Out Hunger

On Giving Day, �� Corporation, Cougar Care Network, and Sodexo partnered with Swipe Out Hunger to feed students suffering from food insecurity/emergencies. Eligible students will get meal swipes to use at Campus Way Cafe or at Get Fresh or Hilltop Bistro, limited menus, in the University Student Union.

Program Elegibility:
