ANGOLA, Ind. – Spring signals a time for growth and that's definitely the case as Trine University and RISE, Inc., agree to partner on a new initiative.
The two are teaming up to establish a garden as part of Trine's farm to fork program that RISE (Rehabilitation & Industrial Services Enterprises, Inc.) will use for teaching its clients how to grow food and prepare nutritious meals. Trine will provide the ground and Bon Appetit Management Co., which provides campus food service, will purchase the fresh produce for use in student meals and at The Depot Grill.
The idea grew from a grant and day of volunteering offered to RISE by Farm Credit Mid America in LaGrange to work together on a project.
For information on volunteer opportunities, contact RISE's Denise Payton, executive director, at denise.payton@riseangola.com.
Area residents interested in launching or advancing their nursing career can learn more about Trine University’s associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs during a Friday, Jan. 16, event at Cameron Health.
Trine University’s Thunder Therapy Clinic, which provides pro-bono rehabilitation services to those in the Fort Wayne area with limited means, will offer occupational therapy beginning in January.
Trine University’s first Associate of Science and Master of Science in nursing graduates, along with physician assistant and surgical technology graduates, received a welcome to the healthcare field from the leader of Cameron Health, herself a longtime nurse, during the university’s fall Commencement on Dec. 12.
