CollegeGrub helps UW Madison students advocate for better dining food and services by crowdsourcing and aggregating insights from the student community, connecting them to Housing Dining through direct and transparent communication. To accomplish this, CollegeGrub facilitates the processing of Suggestions. Users create Suggestions, which after review from CollegeGrub Moderators, are passed to UW dining admin for consideration via a separate web dashboard. University Housing Dining will then have the opportunity to respond to popular Suggestions, before rejecting them with a reason or marking them as complete. Updates are forwarded directly to users, completing the feedback loop and making enacting changes a seamless process from start to finish. - Submit suggestions for food, menus, hours, and more - Upvote ideas from fellow students - Watch suggestions move through review in real time - Get notified when Dining takes action Transparent. Community-driven. Built by students, for students. CollegeGrub is not an official UW or government app.
