Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
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:
In the spring of 2023, Sustainability Management partnered with various offices to host an end-of-the-year donation drive. Boxes were placed in the Goldstein Student Center at the end of the semester on South Campus to collect food, clothing, bedding, and household items. The food was taken to the South Campus food pantry, bedding was donated to Helping Hounds, and the remaining items were collected by a different organization daily.
Service-learning students from PHP 309 (Health Disparities and Underserved Populations), WRT 205, and WRT 307 (Professional Writing) participated and helped with 'Cuse Collections. Students created sample Instagram posts directing student organizations toward the opportunity to coordinate an event with off-campus partners. Sample emails were created by WRT 205 service-learning students to help organize the future semester’s collection work. A team of WRT 307 service-learning students designed a sample website for the project to showcase the potential for community engagement both on and off campus.
