Update from Sodexo sustainability intern

Check out the update on sustainability in The Commons.  Sodexo intern, Kaitlyn Welzen, writes about initiatives already in place:  recycled napkins, fair-trade tea and coffee, trayless service; as well as programs under way:  composting and worker education and purchase of local, organic food in The Commons, and a Campus Farmers Market.  She has several opportunities for student involvement.

Ripon College Farmers' Market

During our first student Farmer's Market on May 4, 2013 participants and attendees of the annual half-marathon and 5K had the opportunity to welcome spring with local baked goods, honey, and early spring produce. Many thanks to Alison Thiel (Class 2015), Sodexo intern for all her hard work organizing this event.
