Hello!
I was curious how other markets on campus are run. By students? If so, how many students run it and how often do you have meetings, is it organized by committees/individual positions?
Thank you,

I am a staff person, and I run our market, among many other thingsJ Our students have volunteered at the market before, but not on a regular basis. The students really support the market and have developed very friendly relationships with the vendors. It’s great to see that spirit of community!

I am currently a senior undergrad at the University of Vermont. I work as an 'Eco-Rep' -a student position that encourages environmentally conscious behavior on campus- Each dorm has a couple of Eco-Reps, but I work in the student center which gives me more flexibility with projects, one being the market.
The UVM Farmers Market Committee includes myself, the assistant marketing director of the student center, someone in the dept. of student life and the head of dining services. Last Spring was our first market and it continuted when the Fall semester picked up.

Hello,
At UC Berkeley, we have a small-scale produce stand run totally by
students ever monday. Here is a link to our facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=148543919266&ref=ts
We buy from local farmers, use an on-campus refrigerator to store it
overnight, and sell to the campus community on a weekly basis. All the
workers are volunteers, and we communicate mostly through email because it
is difficult for us to meet regularly outside of putting on "The Local."
the whole operation is very focused on collective knowledge and shared
responsibility, so there aren't any leadership positions, really.
This is the third or fourth year running for the Local, and it is put on
by a totally different group of students than the original crowd. Let me
know if you have any other particular questions,
Thanks,
Mickey Davis

Our Saturday Market @ PSU is run by our not-for-profit with a full time staff of 5 and seasonal help as well. We also run 4 and soon to be 5 other markets around Portland. The PSU market has been in operation since 1992!
