I’m going to start with my overall rating and go backwards this time.

Boss of the Sauce Competition, rating: decent.

The reason I only say decent is because they started at 3:15 instead of 3, and they ran out of pasta a little before 4pm. The event was supposed to go from 3 until 5 and they did not plan well. Isn’t that Sodexho’s job? To know how much people eat in a given amount of time? One would think.. Well, anyway. The sauces were all very good. My favorite was the blue table.

We should really make a standard system for rating these things. There, I said it.

Drexel Green Reports and Recommendations Presentation Today at 3pm

Starting last October, eight different Drexel Green Committees of students, faculty, and staff have been researching what is being done at other colleges and universities with respect to sustainability, considering various national tests and criteria, and receiving “green ideas” sent to them via the Drexel Green website. With those data, they have been developing recommendations for Drexel University to implement over the next five years. The eight committees were: Academics, Buildings, Communications, Community, Events and Planning, Operations, Research, and Student Life.

The Committees will be presenting their findings and recommendations today, Monday, May 18, 2009 at 3:00 pm in the Mitchell Auditorium, Bossone Research Enterprise Center. The presentations are expected to take 90 minutes, with 30 minutes for feedback, comments, and ideas from the community. After the presentation, each Committee will finalize its written report and recommendations for submission to President Pennoni and adoption into a Green Strategic Plan for the University.

Drinks and snacks will be provided. The Bossone Research Enterprise Center is located on Market Street between 31st and 32nd Streets. To learn more about Drexel’s commitment to sustainability, visit the Drexel Green web site at http://www.drexel.edu/sustainability .

After a rigorous hour of yoga at the DAC, where I saw our first and best ever follower, Diego, I was very excited to grab a delicious veggie burger and maybe some chips at Spring Fest. Barbecues are one of my favorite things. Much to my chagrin, when I left the DAC there were no people happily grilling over on Buckley. In fact it was thinking about raining and although it smelled lovely there weren’t many people out. I called Anthony VG to see if he had any more details but he had none. There were a bunch of people standing under a tent in the Rush Garden eating what looked to me like burgers but I didn’t want to be in such an enclosed area alone with all of those crazy christians. Not to mention that I wasn’t hungry.

Spring Fest

Review: poor.
