Promoting Diversity: Patrick Piedra

What my initial idea for the strengthening diversity on campus was to set up a little grill shop where the Wendy's Lounge is located and build a Hispanic food shop. Don't think this is possible with 4,000 dollars? -Trust me it will fund itself provided that obviously the food is worth the prices. I've been into restaurants 1/4 of the size of the Wendy's area and it has been running for 15 years. Not only would this bring more options to the students when it comes to food but it would diversify foods and bring a more differential feel to the Campus Center's atmosphere. Most of the food in the Campus Center are just sandwiches, soup, pizza and without anything else that isn't generic. Bringing a unique grill shop can bring in more opportunities to try things you'd normally never try. 

Another possibly more realistic idea would be to host an event where people participating would share some facts about their particular culture and bring in a dish of their culture. While people might come to this event and find these facts interesting, I feel as though something else would need to be brought into it so that more people would definitely participate. So while all this is occurring, there would also be a competition where people may come in dressed in a cultural outfit. The three contestants who went the most all out in their cultural outfits would gain $300, $200, $100 respectively. That way, not only does this satisfy all the sharing of other peoples' cultures but it adds a friendly competition to represent your nation in the best way possible. Everybody wins!....except for those that don't but then again you get dishes from each culture that decides to bring one. So yeah, there's that. 

Truthfully, I'd set my eyes on the grill in wendy's just because Albany needs more places that serve Spanish food. Pio Pio is all I got and to have something like that on campus would be PHENOMENAL!
