 <\/p>\n

What sparked your interest in Campus Kitchen?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): I was in the LEAD Fellows program.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What were the biggest challenges you faced working with Campus Kitchen?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): Having to work within our budget was a challenge. We wanted to give the youth at the Brian Coyle Center better quality food but we were not able to afford it.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0What were some of the highlights of your time with CK?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): The people, especially everyone on the Campus Kitchen student team working together and not being individualized\/separated due to roles or titles.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Takeaways\/Skills you gained?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): CK taught me that even small acts of awareness and change can have lasting impacts.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Giving back to the community is something I learned to really value.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are you up to now? How does it connect to CK?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): Meal prep is definitely something I still use and will always use to this day. So don\u2019t underestimate its value.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other things you were involved with at Augsburg?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): I had a job outside of campus and was also a student research assistant for two of my professor independent research projects.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Advice for current, future, past CK interns\/volunteers?<\/b><\/p>\n

(Andress): I learned to enjoy the process and not to participate just for the result. A lot of times when people volunteer, they do it to have it on their resume or for class credit. With Campus Kitchen, it\u2019s important to stay in the present and see the impact and change happen over time because making a difference isn\u2019t always a linear process.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
