This article is part of an ongoing
series of articles outlining specific
initiatives
of
Central
Student
Government on campus.
Business
sophomore
Arathi
Sabada,
a
Central
Student
Government representative, has
been working with Michigan
Dining and the Dean of Students
Office to implement an emergency
meal program that will allow
students
living
off-campus
worried about food security to
request six meals during the
winter 2017 semester.
Food security is a prominent
issue on college campuses, with
a study conducted by Hunger
on Campus finding 43 percent
of all students with a meal plan
experience food insecurity, and
46 percent of these students run
out of meal points before the end
of the term. At the Universityof
Michigan, all dormatory meal
plans are unlimited, though off
campus students have to choose
how many meals to purchase for
the semester.
Sabada stated any University
students could benefit from the
new program, and they could
either be referred by Counseling
and Psychological Services or
University Health Services. They
could also walk in and talk to
the dean of students to see if the
program would work for them.
“Essentially a student can go
there and for whatever reason they
might be food insecure, they can
request six meals from dining.”
Sabada said. “If they happen to be
struggling this month, it’s meant
to tide them over and get them
through the week, the semester,
whenever they need it. The dean of
students will then contact dining
and add the meals to the student’s
MCard, so anyone is eligible for the
program.”
Public Policy junior Joe Shea,
CSG communications director,
mentioned the program allowed
students on campus to have
access to alternative food sources
to ensure that their academic
performance didn’t suffer because
of a lack of food security.
“The emergency meal program
was based on this idea that ‘Leaders
and Best’ is something that we
often use to describe ourselves as
students, but in thinking about
what allows students to be leaders
at their best — they need to have
access to nutritious foods for
every meal of the day.” Shea said.
“That is the founding belief of the
emergency meal program.”
Sabada stated though most
studies suggest food insecurity is
a large problem on campus, there
wasn’t sufficient data collected
specifically from the University.
She mentioned it was hard to
find out how and whom to help
when there weren’t any numbers
for them to build on.
The idea of the program
came
from
working
with
student
organizations
and
hearing concerns from students.
These discussions allowed an
estimation of how useful it
would be for campus.
“We knew there was a need
on campus so we wanted to do
two things: meet that immediate
need by providing students with
meals, and also collect that data
so that future data can be crafted
that more directly target the
populations that may need the
program the most,” she said.
CSG also collaborated with
other
student
organizations
such as Maize & Blue Cupboard,
a
food
pantry
distributes
resources through the Trotter
Multicultural Center.
The emergency meal plan’s
current model was developed
after looking into the school’s
own resources as well as other
programs colleges statewide and

On Monday from 1 to 7 a.m., a
team of eight students at Edible, an
Ann Arbor startup, delivered 1,000
care packages across Ann Arbor.
The care packages — containing
food products and distributed
around residential areas, student
housing, local businesses and
University of Michigan buildings
— were part of a new marketing
stunt for the app, which aims to
help users find local food that
accommodates their dietary
restrictions.
Edible CEO and co-founder
Mike Copley, a University alum,
brought the app to market last year
with his team, including alum Ish
Baid, chief technology officer and
co-founder; LSA senior Lucas Ryan,
who works with marketing and
public relations; and Public Policy
junior Elle Shwer, who works with
branding and graphic design.
Baid wrote in an email
interview the PR scheme proved
successful — the app grew by nearly
800 users.
“We’ve been getting incredible
growth,” he wrote.
“Numbers are still coming
in and we don’t have
an exact figure, but we
estimate over 1,000 users
on campus by end of next
week.”
Copley said in
December the app
crowdsources the
information from its users,
who list meals they have
purchased, highlight the
dietary restrictions that
are accommodated at the
restaurant and review their
overall experience.
“It’s almost like Yik
Yak the way we set up the
feed,” he said. “So it’s just
a list of menu items from
various restaurants. Each one has
upvotes and downvotes.”
Baid added the app caters to
a sizable base in Ann Arbor — his
team’s research estimates nearly
one in four University students have
dietary restrictions.
