In the news: student service, student success

UIndy’s chapter of the Food Recovery Network is featured in an Indianapolis Recorder newspaper story headlined “UIndy students recover pounds of food for community.”

Founded last year by junior Brittany Finigan, the student organization rescues uneaten food from UIndy Dining Services and packages it for delivery to local organizations that serve the needy.

“For a lot of students, the quicker they can take control over their own decisions and understand the ramifications, the better they are able to progress through their degree,” he said. Read the story here.
