Client Project

Meeting with the client in class was very interesting. This project seems like a lot of fun and will keep everyone in class on their toes coming up with exciting new ideas and brainstorming to meet different student body expectations. What will get my peers attention? Maybe a video, maybe a cookbook, or even a campus wide event. There are many ideas floating around through my head as well as my teams'.

After the freewrite in class, I can continue on my idea. It is not going to be an easy to change the dining halls; however, we can change ourselves. It is easy to figure out what each dining hall is going to serve for the day because it is posted on the websites. We also know the different things they have daily, such as cereal, salad bar and sandwich bar. We could post things online to show what things are safe and healthy to eat and what certain things we should avoid. Also we could create youtubes of students following this or maybe showing the different types of food they are eatting that are healthy from the dining hall. Come to think of it, if enough students are eating healthy in the dining halls, then the unhealthy foods will go uneaten and the staff will catch on to the healthy eating because all the unhealthy food will become over abundance!

My group also came up with the idea of healthy recipe books that are easy to pass around to students with links at the bottom to show how the recipe is actually made. I think this is a great idea, however many students are still using the dining hall meal plans. We have to tend to the majority of the students and help them! Many students that spend so much money on meal plans are not going to have extra money to go buy stuff they can cook.

Questions for you: Once we get our idea set in stone, how do go about getting the student body involved? Do you go through Jennifer Goree?
