Subject: Potential Evening Food Service Study
Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to request approval to study the need and demand of evening food service from 4:00pm until 7:00pm, Monday through Thursday at Evergreen Technical College. Summary On July 1, 2013, the Student Government Association forwarded emails and comments made by students regarding the lack of evening food service on the Evergreen Technical College campus to the Student Government Food Service Committee. A vocal minority feels that food service needs to be offered at Evergreen Technical College in the evening; the planning, supervision, and workforce that allows Evergreen to provide similar food service during the day is not available; providing food service cannot become a reality unless sufficient consumer demand is measured to be present . The committee would like to explore the demand for such a service and to determine its feasibility. We are proposing a study that would allow us to survey students, faculty, and instructors to get a comprehensive view of demand. We will advertise though the student newsletter and school websites to help gather a more complete sample. If this proposal is passed, the committee would begin work immediately and submit its final report to the Student Government.
