2A — Wednesday, March 8, 2017 News The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com International Women’s Day in Lane Hall WHAT: Lane Hall will be open and available to anyone seeking a space for rejuvenation, discussion and action in pursuit of gender equity and justice. WHO: Department of Women’s Studies WHEN: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. WHERE: Lane Hall 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 Central Student Government works to implement emergency meal plans Program aims to provide six meals per semester for off campus students RHEA CHEETI Daily Staff Reporter CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES Goin’ North: Black Detroit and the Great Migration, 1910-1930 WHAT: This exhibition of photographs and documents will focus on the concerns of migrants, such as housing and jobs.

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. - KEVIN BIGLIN ON THE DAILY: EDIBLE DEBUTS TO A2 HALEY MCLAUGHLIN/Daily Hubble Fellow L.
