At Crossroads Cafe, we love seeing student energy drive our menu! This month, we’re putting classroom theory into action. After studying the vital role of protein in a student’s diet, our Human Nutrition classes went to work researching the ultimate healthy snack: Energy Bites. After a high-stakes taste test of four student selected recipes, a winner has been crowned! We are officially launching the winning bite for sale in the Cafe this month. These snacks are the perfect "grab-and-go" fuel—they satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you full through your longest afternoon classes.

Prep Once, Snack for Months! These bites are meal-prep legends. While they stay fresh in the fridge for 1–2 weeks, you can stash them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Eat them chilled for a fudge-like treat! Try out the recipes for these delicious snacks! Which bite will be your new favorite? Swing by Crossroads Cafe this week to grab a sample of our student-led menu and taste what your classmates have been cooking up!

From FarmBox to Fork! The Cafe is also proud to showcase harvests from our own campus FarmBox! Last week, the Natural Resources Pathway harvested three varieties of gorgeous greens, which were featured in a fresh Chicken Caesar Wrap for faculty.

Want to bring that farm-to-table vibe home? Skip the bottled stuff—homemade dressing is cheaper, tastier, and impressively easy. Try this anchovy-free Caesar dressing on your next salad (it’s especially delicious over grilled Romaine or kale!). Try the recipe!

From harvesting fresh, hydroponic greens to hand-rolling protein bites, our students are gaining hands-on experience in the kitchen. It’s all about teamwork, healthy ingredients, and building real-world skills at the EPIC Campus!

EPIC Teacher Cadets attended the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to learn about other educational professions. They interacted with a diverse group of professionals that work at the museum. Students heard valuable advice:

Avoid the curse of knowledge- thinking you already know everything
Be curious
Be a good person
Be the values you hold
Be someone people want to work with
Be someone who you needed to see - so important!
Be curious about others’ stories
Fail= first attempt in learning
Show up
Apologize
Education is the foundation of every job

Learning comes alive beyond the classroom! 🦴 EPIC Campus students recently visited a museum to explore natural history through hands-on exhibits and expert-led discussions. From comparing prehistoric fossils to engaging with industry professionals, our students are gaining unique perspectives on the world around them.

EPIC Construction Design Sustainability and Architecture students ventured to DLR Group, an architecture design firm where students were challenged with designing an all terrain device that could float, drive and glide.

From blueprints to builds! 🏗️ EPIC Campus students recently took their designs to the next level during an industry visit. They spent the day prototyping, testing physics with marble runs, and studying professional architectural models. It's all about bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world!

Sports Med A students have been learning about the knee. They have been working on learning the anatomy of the knee and practicing the important palpations.
