WHAT I'M WORKING ON

Affordable and healthy food on campus

30/11/20 - The company that runs the outlets on campus have committed to reducing their prices, which can already be seen when looking at a comparison of this year versus last year. In addition to this, the food options cater to a number of different dietary requirements. Improvements can always be made, so we will continue to work with the University on this.
