Student Congress is heading up a project that is designed to get the opinions of students and faculty about the food quality at Doane. Suggestion boxes are strategically placed at each of the three dining areas: Tiger Inn, cafeteria and Grab and Go.
“What we’re doing is trying to reach out to students and staff to get an idea of how the food system could become a little better,” said Student Congress Senator Jordan Kenyon. “So we are asking for comments in each of the three eating areas, each for one week.”
According to Kenyon, this week the box will be placed at Grab and Go for students. Next week it will be in front of the cafeteria.
This project began two weeks ago in an effort to bring informal criticisms to the forefront.
“StuCo is always interested in what students think,” Kenyon said. “We have also heard of several complaints and wanted to find out exactly what these complaints were.”
Once information is collected, Kenyon will be able to present his findings on the experiment.
“We will then make a formal report to Student Congress and then from there we will figure out what to do,” Kenyon said. “StuCo has the power to bring it to other people who have power to make changes.”
Student Congress is a tool for the student body, Kenyon said. They need to be able to utlilize it.
“StuCo is here to serve the student, so I encourage students to ask questions and become involved,” Kenyon said.
