Transforming Dining Services: A Student-Driven Meal Plan Evaluation Project

In a collaborative effort, students Tyler Herzog, Maia Kavoures, Bryan Leuszler, Carl Smith, Matt Smith, and Jordan Ternes tackle the challenge of improving Dining Services through a comprehensive Meal Plan Evaluation project. The goal is to leverage classroom knowledge for the benefit of students and the broader community. Through effective communication, delegation of tasks, and innovative use of Microsoft Excel, the team aims to analyze meal plan data for clarity and effectiveness, while also engaging feedback from peers to refine their approach. Utilizing tools like Dropbox, they prepare for a three-tiered testing phase, focusing on self-sufficiency and adapting to the needs of their audience.
