Spoon University is the food resource for our generation and the mission for the Spoon UNM chapter is to encourage students to eat intelligently and to eat locally.
By intelligently, we don't mean everything you eat has to be fat-free and whole grain, but we want college students to know how to navigate the dining hall, use their stove, and most importantly, know that they don't have to eat ramen noodles every day of their college career.
New Mexico is a great state with our own taste and culture. There are so many local coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants. As the next generation, we need to support these local businesses and not always eat at big chains. If the mission speaks to you as a student then join our chapter. Still need some convincing? Check out these other reasons to join Spoon UNM.
1. The Food
Spoon UNM is an organization centered around food. Everyone in Spoon has a love for food and the position they hold helps them to glorify food in the best way possible.
Since we are a food organization, we get recognized by local eateries. The Little Red Hamburger Hut started giving UNM students and staff a 15% discount and Cupcakes by Nicole baked our members some delish cupcakes for one of our meetings.
2. National Recognition
As a member of Spoon UNM, you have the opportunity to be recognized nationally as a writer, videographer, photographer, or all three.
Spoon University partners with various online forums such as Buzzfeed, The Food Network, Yahoo Food, and much more. Articles can be shared on any of these platforms which means more traffic on articles and the better chance you'll be recognized as a great writer.
