Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Once a month there is a public market day on the Crawford Greens and surrounding area, likely the highest foot traffic area of the entire campus. During these market days, local small businesses, as well as some student organizations set up booths and food trucks to sell food and goods on campus. The event has many sponsors, with WFIT a long-standing organizer. Most vendors focus on locally-sourced produce or other perishable goods such as honey or vegetable oils. There are generally many vegan options provided by the food trucks.
Student organizations like the ETHOS Community Garden club use the opportunity to fundraise by selling plants that they have grown in the garden, and the Student Organization for Sustainability Action (SOSA) runs a fundraising thrift shop where clothes donated by club members are sold to fund club activities.
