Our conversations are always very deep and rewarding. I recently messaged a former supervisor on Facebook to thank her for introducing me to Professor Bauce and convincing me to take his AOK1 Environmental Studies class (ENV 201 – Animals in Society). Our relationship is becoming a lot stronger and I am honestly blessed to have this opportunity. Professor Bauce has been helping me, on top of our Undergraduate Research meetings, during our weekly colloquium meetings to finish my documentary on Food Waste and Homelessness in New York City. Through the relationship I have established with Professor Bauce, I have been able to expand my knowledge on Food Sustainability, and also enroll in an Independent Study on Food Waste. This research project has tremendously impacted my life. Profesor Bauce and I will be incorporating a food waste initiative into our end of the year report. We are working with Chartwells to setup a food donation agreement with The Bowery Mission. Pace University is protected under the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act established in 1996 by Bill Clinton, to donate any not sold or served food items to a Non-Profit organization. The focus of our conversation was Food Waste and establishing a Food Waste Recovery Program at Pace University’s NYC Campus. Not too long ago I met with Tyron Ellen who works for Chartwells at the New York City Campus. We are in the works of deciding whether or not we would like a sustainability officer on campus or to have funds allocated to the Green Pace Sustainability group. The purpose of the petition has not been decided yet. We were both very excited to find out that our Provost is a vegetarian and supports Pace’s sustainability efforts!Īlso, Professor Bauce and I have decided to create a petition. At both of the meetings Professor Bauce and I obtained some quality information that will be added to our end of the year report. We finished meeting with Provost Uday Sukhatme and Angelo Spillo.

Since my last blog post, Professor Bauce and I have been making tremendous progress with our research.
