From Letters to Leaders Quotes

“At the University of Alabama, the campus community developed an initiative called “Out 2 Lunch.” Any student can invite an administrator out for lunch or coffee on campus at a dining facility to enjoy some food together and have a conversation. Even if the two parties have completely different viewpoints, good food is usually something we can all agree on. In this case, the student actually pays for the administrator’s meal. They have a conversation about improving some part of campus life. Afterward, the student fills out an assessment on why they chose this administrator, what they learned, and how satisfied they were with the conversation that took place. Once the assessment is submitted to the university, the dining facility will issue a credit back to the student for the money used to cover the administrator’s meal.”
