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 host its annual Take Back the Night rally and march to inform and educate the community about sexual assault, with the ultimate goal of prevention.
Community members are invited to experience a World Cup of Cultures with food, entertainment and more at Trine University’s 57th annual iNight (International Night) on Saturday, April 11.
Trine University is hosting the 10th Annual Ketner School of Business Golf Outing on April 24, with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.
