Show Thursday, January DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 31, 2013 GRANT FETCH FOOD Continued from page 1 Continued from page 1 "It gives you someone to sit with in your class," Baxter said. "You can study and do homework with them." For many ACCESS alumni, those relationships were the best part of the program. "It wasn't until I started the ACCESS program, surrounded by 20 other brilliant, creative and intelligent women, that I actually felt comfortable and supported in pursuing the sciences," said Judy Vu, a former ACCESS student who is currently a research specialist in the U Hospital's Department of Internal Medicine. As the concluding speaker, Vu said the skills she learned about basic science research and the connections she made helped her get to where she is now. ACCESS has continually received administrative support, even when funding was a little dicey, Rossi said. The program takes a lot to run, and most of it comes from the College of Science. Chevron Corp.'s grant is one of the biggest the program has ever received. The company has been involved with ACCESS for several years now, occasionally giving smaller donations, Gray said. The money goes to the students for their $3,500 scholarship and instructors for the summer program. With this recent grant, ACCESS will work with organizations such as the Utah Office of Multicultural Affairs to do community outreach to women of ethnicity, said Claudia Nakano, director of the office. The program continues to grow. Three years ago, ACCESS doubled its numbers from 21 to 42 girls because of efforts from current dean of the College of Science Pierre Sokolsky, Gray said. Part of the scholarship money the women receive serves as a stipend for the required research they do during Spring Semester of their freshman year. That's where Vu and all former ACCESS students receive their handson experiences and connections with professors. "It's important to give, I think, young women the opportunity to have hands-on experiences with amazing equipment," said U President David Pershing. Hillary Hansen, a sophomore in biology, worked with the Huntsman Cancer Institute last year for her research project. She appreciates the networking with other students and professors that takes place, even after students complete the program. Even though women are becoming more represented in science, as the Department of Chemistry just hired a number of women faculty, the disparity is still there, Gray said. Adoula Biar, a sophomore at West High School, attended because she is interested in being a part of ACCESS in the future. She said she has noticed the stigma against women going into science but wants to "prove that girls can be doctors as well." Like the networking that goes on with ACCESS, Wednesday's event connected students, professors and community members around a common goal of supporting science education for everyone. Before handing over the check, Mark Sullivan, refinery manager for Chevron Corp., said their company places a huge emphasis on diversity. The word, however, is hard to define. "It's really people with different thought processes and backgrounds and making sure that they can fully contribute to the business," he said. "I'm glad that this grant, this $240,000, will help reach out to the less represented and less opportunistic folks and that we can go out and find some more students to come and join the ranks." restaurant at home," said Bret Helton, a freshman in business management. "I would be willing to pay a little extra to have that kind of service." The delivery employees travel only by bike, keeping transportation costs down for Fetch Food. The process allows employees to avoid traffic entirely, getting food to customers faster, Raman said. If an area is too far to reach by bike, Fetch Food will use public transportation. So no matter the weather or distance, c.webber@ chronicle.utah.edu MILITARY Continued from page 1 only of panels and speakers. The symposium aims to make the issues more concrete. "We will engage them in cuttingedge issues," he said. Guiora said he will present attendees with circumstances and will TRAFFICKING Continued from page 1 than California's F, Larsen said. Starting Feb. 27, Utah's report on raiseyourgrade.org will have a link to help construct a letter to Gov. Gary Herbert, including specifics about sex trafficking laws in Utah. 3 Fetch Food will deliver. Even a few weeks ago when Salt Lake City received two feet of snow and the U shut down, Fetch Food was delivering orders to customers. Raman and two friends started Fetch Food together and run the business from their home. They have recently expanded their delivery boundaries to include the U. It was only two months ago that Fetch Food opened shop, and it has five employees. They originally started by delivering for six restaurants. Within two weeks of having been a running business, they increased by more than io restaurants and currently have seven restaurants under contract — but Raman doesn't want to stop there. Fetch Food recently won second place at the U's business competition, Opportunity Quest, and received an award of $3,000. Raman is buying three electric bikes with the prize money. The electric bikes will cut the delivery time in half, making it so Fetch Food can deliver an order in 3o minutes. The motors on the electric bike will also help with keeping the food hot. Fetch Food has patented hot food containers that are connected to the electric bike and powered by the motor. In the near future, customers will not have to call the restaurant or Fetch Food to place an order. Fetch Food is working to make ordering food an online process. The business will also be delivering free of charge. Raman wants to eventually include grocery and retail delivery. He hopes to expand to other cities and maybe one day go national. "You can see Amazon competing with us now because they started putting warehouses in different cities so they can deliver in the same day," Raman said. "We want to do the same thing but with all the small businesses so they can compete against Amazon." discuss and decide "go or not go," meaning whether to kill the person or not. "Go or no go is not an abstract concept," he said. "From a student's perspective, it will really push the envelope." The symposium will also feature a keynote speaker and three panel discussions featuring law professors from around the country and retired generals from the U.S. military. Some topics include the history of American armed conflict and the ethics of war. Some of the issues related to the use of drones include the government's right to unilaterally kill someone and its right to unilaterally decide who is a threat and who is an associate, Guiora said. "There is no process and no trial," he said. "I think those [issues] raise some pretty powerful legal questions and moral dilemmas." The conference will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. "If we carry this thing off well they will gain an appreciation of the dilemma of the drone policy," Guiora said. "I was looking at the laws here in Utah, and for a man that has child porn on his computer, he'll become a registered sex offender," Larsen said. "But a man that buys services ... from a child does not go on the register." For law enforcement to be able to stop trafficking, there needs to be huge changes in the laws governing it, and Backyard Broadcast hopes this month-long blitz will get the issue on legislators' minds. "March will be our first thing, but we are planning to continue it annually or biannually for infinity ... until it changes," Lasko said. Cameron Silva, an undeclared freshman, was actively involved with the Backyard Broadcast campaign as a student at Timpanogos High School. He is hoping to get a club going at the U. "I think the biggest part is that people don't know what sex trafficking is and they want to avoid the subject at all costs," Silva said. "It does happen in their neighborhoods ... I feel like it's a topic that hasn't been addressed and it needs to be." k.mcarthur@ chronicle.utah.edu t.webb@ chronicle.utah.edu a.drysdale@chronicle.utah.edu Deals for food, entertainment and everything else for students, faculty and staff at the University of Utah.
