ENVS 80F Make Up Shifts

Were you unable to attend your ENVS 80F section? Sign-up for a make up shift during week 10 or finals week!

Remember this is only for people who have been so far UNABLE to attend a shift at Cowell Coffee Shop!

Greetings 80F students! Thank you for joining us at the Cowell Coffee Shop this quarter to participate in our Ethnic Resource Center Partnership events! As part of your participation in the 80F course you are required to sign up for one prep or service shift this quarter with us.

The Resource Centers (RCs) comprise of the four Ethnic Resource Centers: African American Resource and Cultural Center, American Indian Resource Center, Asian American / Pacific Islander Resource Center, and “El Centro” the Chicano Latino Resource Center; the Cantú Queer Center, and the Women's Center. Each of the 6 resource centers offer students various services through academic, cultural and community support activities. Throughout the year, the RCs host programs and events that connect students, staff, faculty and community members in both social and professional, academic settings. Students have ample opportunities to network and create community spaces, to engage in stimulating and critical dialogue, and to find connections in hope of building a positive and empowering space for all communities.

Basic Needs, The Cowell Coffee Shop, & Food Systems Working Group, along with the Center for Agroecology Farm & Garden sites, work with a different campus resource center each month to stage a collaborative event and meal kit around a different cultural foodway, highlighting a broad range of culinary diasporas and narratives around foodways. Staple ingredients from these recipes are incorporated into campus pantries as regular distribution offerings. CCS + FSWG coordinate with farm and garden site managers to plan crop harvesting timelines to try to align culturally relevant produce and heirloom varietals with the harvest dates of collaborative events.

These events can comprise of a virtual or in person guest speaker, film screening, musical performance, or interactive event.

AAPIRC DUMPLING WEEK
In celebration of week 10 and our Asian American/Pacific Islander students, we will be making and distributing 100 dumpling meal kits so that students can make and form their own dumplings at home.
Simultaneously, we will also be activating our 80F Students to make and pleat thousands of dumplings to serve downstairs at the cafe all week long!

FINALS WEEK RAMEN
The Cowell Coffee Shop has started a tradition of offering free ramen during finals week. Students can choose from housemade miso or chicken broth ramen topped with roasted chicken or tofu, an egg, seaweed, housemade pickled radishes and ginger, and UCSC farmfresh veggies. ENVS 80F students have the opportunity to help us carry on that tradition.

PLEASE NOTE YOUR DATE AND SIGNUP TIME ON YOUR OWN GOOGLE CALENDAR!
