In their Capstone class, seniors of DRBU’s Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts program pursue topics and projects tailored to their interests and circumstances. This class challenges students to apply their education to real-world problems and explore how their learning can provide a foundation for life after DRBU.

This year’s seniors chose to research the impact of food waste and how we can work to reduce it. We are thrilled to share their findings and recommendations.

BA Class of 2026: Our Capstone class has been working on a project to reduce food waste on campus. In our community, food is not only a gift from generous benefactors, but also contains heartfelt efforts from countless people. Besides its environmental impact, food waste is also detrimental to our own blessings and disrespectful for the love of nature and the care of the people. 

To raise awareness about this issue, we are excited to share a slideshow that summarizes our project. We hope these materials encourage greater mindfulness around food consumption and inspire people to cultivate more sustainable and appreciative habits.
