The Dean of Students Office and Dining Services would like you to participate in a virtual Husky Swipes event. The UConn Swipes Program aims to provide students who are food insecure, and/or who are experiencing an emergency situation, access to healthy and well-balanced meals in our campus dining halls.

As in the past, while students were on campus, Dining would work collaboratively with the Dean of Students Office and other Departments within Student Affairs to encourage students to donate one swipe from their meal plan so that funds would be available for those that are facing food insecurity.  We now encourage you to take this opportunity virtually so we can continue with this important cause.

Students with a traditional dining plan interested in helping another student fight hunger insecurity can do so at the virtual Give A Meal event:

• WHEN: Monday, April 20, 2020 through Friday, April 24, 2020.
• WHAT YOU DO: Log into your account at the One Card website.
• Select Donations on the left-hand side
• All proceeds will go to the UConn Swipes initiative.
• Since its inception, the UConn Swipes initiative has donated $9,815!

If you need additional information regarding this initiative and how to apply you may find it on the Dean’s website at www.dos.uconn.edu.

Thank you in advance for your donation which will help a fellow Husky in the future.

Sincerely

Maureen Armstrong
Associate Dean of Students/Director, Dean of Students Office

Executive Director, Dining Services

Spring Valley Student Farm (SVSF) sprouted in spring 2010 from a project planted by Residential Life. Since that time SVSF has blossomed into a year-round community for eleven student farmers living in two UConn houses 4.5 miles off-campus. The student farmers learn about sustainable community living, organic food growing methods and the business aspects of how food is harvested, processed and presented to the UConn dining community. As stewards and ambassadors of the farm, the student farmers support Spring Valley Student Farm as an educational destination where everyone may come together to learn and grow.

Spring Valley Student Farm exists as a collaborative venture between Dining Services, Residential Life, EcoHouse Learning Community and First-Year Programs, the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources, and the Office of Environmental Policy.

 Students who live at SVSF are expected to volunteer 10 hours per week of labor to qualify for a significantly discounted room rental rate.
