Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Leopard Leftovers

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Every day departments, offices, and clubs hold events and meetings across campus with Lafayette catered food or other catered food. Often, when these events and meetings end, there is leftover food that gets thrown away. Our goal is to end this wasteful cycle.
The Leopards Leftovers program alerts current Lafayette students via GroupMe notification when there is free food available on campus leftover from an event. The intention is to connect students with leftovers from campus events that would otherwise be thrown away. This initiative works to reduce food waste and food insecurity on campus.
