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.
Staff from Education One, Trine University’s charter school authorizer, attended the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, from Oct. 27-29.
Members of the public are invited to join Trine University faculty, staff and students in exploring, discussing and playing board and video games during the annual Art of Games event on Nov. 18.
When Trine University’s string of more-than-99%-employment years for its graduates began, most of its current freshman class hadn’t started kindergarten.
