I am an intern with Health Services as a Community Health Education Major here at UMD. Part of my internship has been to create a survey that will help inform Health Services of food trends, needs and interests of those at UMD. 

It is here and ready to go!

 

UMD Dining Services and Health Services Campus Food Survey

My goal is to not only reach those who participate in the dining locations at UMD but also those who do not for what ever reason.  We'd like to know what you would like to see, your needs and how you might be served better. Don't feel shy about telling us what you like either!  We LOVE to know what is working too!

The survey takes about 7 minutes... it will be open until Friday May 24th.  (I know it is a crazy time with finals...  just don't forget! :)

"Toss the tray" in the name of sustainability!

GO TRAYLESS FOR A DAY!

Change is coming!

 

This Thursday May 9th, the Dining Center will be going trayless.
All day the trays will be removed from use*.




This event is designed to promote sustainability in our community and on campus by reducing waste.

Each tray that is not used saves 1/3-1/2 gallon of water.

Food waste is also reduced by an average of 1.2-1.8 ounces per meal per person.

Give it a chance and support sustainability!




*Trays will be available in special instances upon request and for those with disabilities.

The water saving statistics surprised me. 
I can certainly see how the lack of tray's might naturally influence our carrying capacity and adjust what we bring to our dining table.

What do YOU think?
Do you have any thoughts related to your experience eating in the D.C. on trayless days?
How did it change what or how much you chose to eat or took to your table? 
Did it change your consumption amount or the amount you threw away?

Share your thoughts!
