Amount Awarded:
$40,000
Potential Funding Reductions:
If 10% of the funding was cut from the total amount requested, most of the project would continue as planned. We would look for other sources of funding to make up for the loss, including the HFS Dining budget as well as external contributions. However, it is still possible that even a 10% cut in funding could change the scope or timeline of the project.
If 20% of the funding was cut, we would likely seriously consider cutting down the pilot program to one machine and half of the remaining requested items. This would be detrimental to the project as less students would be able to participate and there would be less accessibility and ease of use.
If 50% of the funding was cute, we would almost definitely reduce the scope of the project to one machine and half of the requested items. This is detrimental for the reasons listed above, but also because we are not likely to secure the remaining funding and resources needed from other sources. It may be possible that we would have to delay the start of the program in order to acquire the necessary funds.
Project Longevity:
The project teams that will support the implementation, management, and maintenance of this project include:
- SEED: This team will focus on raising awareness of the program, encouraging student engagement, and soliciting feedback on the program. It will also work with other teams to ensure administrative tasks, such as ordering the machines and having them installed, are completed in a timely manner. SEED will experience a transition in leadership this Spring, and the incoming Executive Director, Jenna Truong, has expressed her commitment to completing and prioritizing this work with her new Executive Board.
- HFS Dining: This team will support the project by working with HFS Facilities to install machines, train staff on their use and how to distribute containers, complete any needed maintenance on the machines and solicit feedback from staff on the program.
- HFS Facilities: This team will help with the installation of OZZI machines in dining locations, and ensure their placement complies with HFS policies.
- RCSA: This team will assist SEED in collecting student feedback on the program. RCSA will experience a transition in leadership this Spring, and the incoming President, Kennedy Cameron, has expressed her commitment to supporting this work with her new Executive Board.
Should this project be funded, the most central first step to implementing the program would be ordering the OZZI machines, containers, and supporting materials. This order would be placed immediately after funding is received, and supporting work, such as raising awareness of the program, would also begin immediately.
