Dear XXX,

Attached below is a report titled “Implementation of Subsidized Hot Beverage Vendors on Campus”. This report contains recommendations for improving the customer experience of students on campus when purchasing a hot beverage on campus while considering many factors that are important to both students and UBC as a whole. As the director of Food Services, you oversee many new initiatives that take place, and I thank you for your commitment to quality services at UBC.

The goal of this report is to introduce the possibility of a new initiative that provides students with subsidized costs for purchasing beverages on campus. Many students have reported that current price points are much higher than they would reasonably like it to be which can contribute to financial stress. The implementation of subsidized food services on campus resulted in lower food insecurity self-reports by students in the past year, and I am certain that a similar application towards cafes on campus can produce positive outcomes for the wellbeing of students.

I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic. If you have any questions or feedback concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXX XXX

Dear XXX XXX

Please find attached a Formal Report on a proposal to establish a volunteer dental hygiene clinic at Our Place Society. This report was prepared by Jennifer Worsham, RDH, DHP(c) in March 2022 to explore the practicality of establishing some form of zerocost dental care for the clients at Our Place.

Through research of recent data and an interview with Patricia O’Byrne, Community Engagement Programs Manager at Our Place, it is clear there is an unmet need for oral care among the homeless populations of Canada in general, and the clients at Our Place Society. Our Place has only had intermittent visits from dental professionals and students over the years, and none at all in the past two years due to Covid-19.

Hopefully, if a small, semi-monthly clinic of one chair and one or two dental volunteers can be established, it will be possible to grow the project into something larger and more wide-reaching. Please peruse this report and consider how we might best move forward along the path to launching a volunteer-based dental hygiene clinic at the Our Place site to benefit those who are in need.
