DHS Welcome Manual

Make a Difference Projects

DHS has a very talented and creative student team, and we want to hear your ideas. Every student staff member has the opportunity to submit a Make a Difference Project that could lead to measureable improvements in DHS. Your project MUST positively impact food quality, service delivery, or increase unit level financial performance. Students must fully develop and execute the project from start to finish. Data must be collected that show the program is successful. To illustrate, if you develop a project that aims to reduce the number of compostable to-go wares used in retail, you will have to compare before and after data to determine positive or negative results. We can assist you in gathering data through our IT systems, but it will be your responsibility for the analyses.

DHS has considerable depth of resources to draw on, so projects must be specific, measureable, achievable, relevant to the business, and completed on a timely basis. Recipe suggestions, re-arranging dining room layouts, posting marketing flyers, suggesting theme events, updating training manuals, and other routine suggestions or changes will not make it through the approval stage.

If your Make a Difference Project is approved and achieves desired results, you will be awarded a $125 bonus. There is no limit to how many projects you can submit. You can submit your project using this electronic form: Make a Difference Project Form.

*Please note that students are restricted to working no more than 25 hours per week during the academic year and international students are restricted to working no more than 20 hours per week.
