Bringing the Future of Takeout to Campus
Meet Astha Bhandari ‘26, the Sustainable Stanford fellow getting campus cafés to rethink takeout.
As part of the Living Lab Program, students have the opportunity to create change in various areas of operations at Stanford, including food systems, climate action, zero waste, and more. Sixty-one students embarked on their fellowship and internship journeys to advance campus sustainability. Their orientations in September were filled with networking sessions, a tour of the Central Energy Facility, presentations from former fellows and interns, and the first change management class for Living Lab fellows.
