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.
Trine University will welcome visiting students with themed spirit days and giveaways as part of Indiana Private College Week, July 20-24.
Trine University has named Andy Rang, who had served as interim athletic director since March, as its new athletic director.
As high schoolers return to class and students attending colleges outside northeast Indiana move away to campus, Trine University invites local businesses to recruit for positions at its annual Part-Time Job Fair.
