Hi! Welcome to our blog!
This blog is created by UBC (University of British Columbia) students engaged in the LFS 350 course. The purpose of this blog is to share with others the progress of our research project and some exciting events and news on the Special Olympics Canada main host by UBC in 2014. Throughout the next 10 weeks, we will be working closely with our community partner from UBC Food Service to organize a sustainable food procurement of Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games on UBC campus.
The main objective of this project is to find a sustainable food sourcing and food delivery plan for the vendor of the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer games. We will also be looking for opportunities in food delivery at the event that will help improve human and ecological wellbeing, as well as creating a food procurement guideline for the event vendors to set a standard.
Our group consist of eight members: Shaoran Li, Mong Xin, Seb Zackowski, Li Tong, Ke Liao, Yuan Shi, Wenbo Liang, and Yuanxi Wang. During our first meeting on September 11, 2013, we have elected Seb Zackowski as our group representative to contact with our community partners. Wenbo Liang will be the blog administrator responsible for updating our blog. Some ground rules was also established during our first meeting.
Rule #1- Do not procrastinate! Try finish the parts you are responsible for prior to the deadline instead of rushing at the last minute.
Rule #2- Respect others. Be on time for the group meetings. Finish hearing what others has to say before you share your thoughts. Give productive criticisms.
Rule #3- Don’t be afraid to speak up! Ask others if you need help. Share your ideas with other group members.
Rule #4- Be involved with the group. Everyone should contribute to the group project.
After our first group meeting, Seb Zackowski has emailed our community partner and set up our first meeting with our community partner on September 19, 2013. Detail of this meeting will be available on our next blog.
Thanks for reading our first blog post! A new post will be available on our blog every week!
