  • 14075 Students Paint Luggage for Foster Children

    Foster children usually have very little to call their own, and often use trash bags to transport their few belongings, which can be embarrassing and potentially harmful to a child's self-esteem. Armed with some gently used hard-shell luggage and art supplies – all donated for a worthy cause – Capital students, faculty, staff and community members worked to give these children small, but practical, pieces of art to call their own.

    "My work began with a simple question prompted by Dietrich Bonhoeffer's reflections on standing in solidarity with the oppressed: Where is the theological consideration of laughter 'from below,' 'from the perspective of the outcast, the mistreated, the powerless, the oppressed, the reviled – in short, from the perspective of those who suffer'?"

Whole Body Cuisine: A Program for Healthier Eating

When you're always on the go, it's hard to make wise food choices and stick to your weight-loss goals. That's why we created Whole Body Cuisine.

The meals in this program are varied, tasty and well-balanced, with controlled levels of fat, calories and sodium. Whole Body Cuisine makes it easier to:

  • Maintain a healthy body weight (especially when combined with regular exercise)
  • Keep your total fat intake at or below 30% of your daily calories
  • Reduce the total number of calories you consume
  • Limit the amount of cholesterol in your diet
  • Balance your diet over the course of a day or week so you can still find a place for your favorite foods
  • Avoid highly processed or refined foods
  • Trim portion sizes and overall consumption of meats, poultry, eggs and whole-milk cheeses
  • Eat a greater variety of fruits, vegetables and starchy foods to ensure adequate levels of vitamins, minerals and fiber

We serve one Whole Body Cuisine entrée and one vegetable at every meal (breakfast excluded). Look for our signs at The Main Event food station, and get started on the road to healthy eating!
