Food Committee Update
Hello! I’m updating the Trinity community on what’s been going on in Food Committee. Some of my peers and I have met with Toby several times during the last few weeks to talk about some important changes we want made to Chartwells. One was the “rollover” idea: He has told me that it’s on his minutes and ready to be discussed. I have stressed how much Trinity students would really like to see that happen in the near future. We’ve also discussed the overpricing in the Cave and in the Bistro. A lot of the prices are assigned because Chartwells is a business and must cover all of its expenses. However, we are working on ideas to make more meal ideas in the Cave (ex. cereal, milk, fruit and an oj) so that we’re not constantly scrambling to find random things to make a meal and spend most of our time practicing our killer addition skills. If anyone has any suggestions about a meal/combo, please email me (rebecca.herrigel@trincoll.edu) or Toby (toby.chenette@trincoll.edu) with ANY suggestions! Again, Food Committee meets every Thursday at noon in Mather. All are welcome to join and voice their opinions, constructive criticism, and suggestions in order to make their Chartwells experience the best it can be. Rebecca.
Chartwells Committee
As part of my role on the Campus Infrastructure Committee, I am the SGA member on the Chartwells Committee. Every Thursday at noon, we meet with Chartwells directors in Mather. We offer suggestions, comments, questions, and concerns to Chartwells about all three eateries on campus. Toby Chenette, the Director of Dining Services, is very friendly and eager to please the students. We are, in fact, the ones eating the food. I have asked about a variety of things including more fruits and vegetables in Mather to getting different hours at the Bistro. We discussed the topic of Trayless Tuesdays that have been recently implemented in Mather. As much as they are completely open to the idea of getting rid of the trays all together, the bigger issue is the amount of food waste that is created each day. Sure the amount of water saved on not washing the trays is a good way to save water, but reducing our food waste would make even more of a difference. We have also opened up the idea of “rollover” flex dollars. I personally hope that this will come to pass. I look forward to seeing some of our suggestions taking place soon. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to: let me know, send Toby an email, or come to the meeting! It is open to all students, and they are interested in a variety of voices on campus. See you next thursday at noon in Mather!
