Thank You...

I want to thank you so much for the time that we spent together over the past 5 plus years. You made me feel at home and you have been wonderful to work with. We have accomplished a tremendous amount over the years and it is those memories that I will cherish forever. I will be around CS departments the next two weeks to say goodbye. Please continue providing your very best and remember that you make a difference in our students' lives each and every day.

Love & Honor

Healthy Eating After the Holidays New Year, New You? Setting New Year's Resolutions is a popular activity done when the new year rolls around. Most commonly, resolutions are focused on weight loss and increase of exercise.

Unfortunately by February, many of the goals set in the new year have been put by the wayside and old habits have returned. According to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medicine, only 8% of people kept their New Year’s Resolution in 2019. Success by sticking to New Year’s resolutions can be simple! A goal that many people set in the new year is “I am going to eat healthier.” This is not a specific or measurable goal with no time frame.

Olena Engelhard - Food Service Assistant | 4 Years Andrew Fredrick - Food Production Leader | 1 Year Carmen Gyebi - Food Service Assistant | 7 Years

A SMART goal is a tool that individuals can use to help make sustainable changes. When creating a New Year’s Resolution, setting specific SMART goals are the key to success. The letters stand for the following:

Amy McIntosh - Chef | 24 Years

S - Specific: Overarching statement of the goal as an action statement I will increase the amount of vegetables I eat to 3 servings a day.

M - Measurable: Data that will be used to measure the goal I will track the number of servings on a calendar, wellness tracker app, or on my phone.

A - Attainable: Having the necessary skills and resources to accomplish goal I will set aside time each week to go grocery shopping and plan what vegetables I am going to purchase to eat throughout the days of the week.

R - Realistic: Fitting this goal into your overall broader goal Yes, the overall goal is to become healthier, so I want to start by increasing vegetable consumption.

T - Timely: When the SMART goal will be accomplished by I would like to accomplish consuming 3 servings of vegetables daily by March 1, 2022.

Lisa Moss - Food Service Supervisor | 21 Years

Once this is accomplished, repeat the process and choose another SMART goal!

Kimberly Patterson - Cook | 29 Years

Another tip to consider when creating goals is to make small changes. Often, people try to change too many factors in their life at once, especially at the beginning of the year. By breaking up a goal into measurable steps, someone is able to see the small progressions and get discouraged less, leading to sticking to the goal longer

Phyllis Himes - Food Service Assistant | 17 Years Cynthia Hoblitzell - Sr Program Assistant | 3 Years Joanna Kellogg - Assistant Director of Finance | 6 Years Mary Kingrey - Building and Grounds Assistant | 17 Years Shannon Korineck - Food Service Assistant | 5 Years

Alicia Rizzo - Conference & Event Planner | 7 Years Benjamin Schlake - Cook | 5 Years Carrie Smith - Food Service Assistant | 2 Years Arrington Stephens - Food Service Supervisor | 3 Years April Turner - Food Service Supervisor | 7 Years Rachel West - Food Service Assistant | 4 Years

By making small changes like the goal above, it creates a realistic expectation and allows a person to: • Create sustainable lifestyle changes • Create SMART goals • Give yourself small goals to work on

Start by making one small change and sticking with it:

- Breakfast

- Getting to sleep earlier

- Consuming more water over caloric beverages etc.

• Setting unrealistic goals will result in failure to accomplish your goals

Dining Menus Update After two years of hard work, our dining hall menu screens are now powered by MDI! MDI (Menu Display Interface), can talk to our screens much more quickly than our old method of displaying menus. We can now update menu items during a meal period and have the update show up as quickly as 15 minutes later, where before an update would take up to 24 hours to show up. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project and made the menus more accurate and visible to students!
