<div>Dear Mustangs,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <br>
You may have seen some little robots traveling around
campus. They are Starship Delivery robots, and they deliver
groceries, meals, drinks, and snacks from a range of
locations, direct to you.<br>
<br>
You can try the service using your cellphone by clicking on <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwwww.starship-purdue.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7CELMAADI-JACILEE%40ARAMARK.COM%7C33b6ad9eb77c406e558708d9da9700b3%7Cb1519f0f2dbf4e21bf34a686ce97588a%7C0%7C0%7C637781164361628991%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=jqX51vROE9ZanoCDAZVc8w7253Wf1nsWjT3MbeBU8BI%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">wwww.starship-smu.com</span></a> or
typing 'Starship Food Delivery' into your app store.<br>
<br>
The robots provide a safe, fast, affordable, and
environmentally friendly delivery option. They are sanitized
before each delivery by staff wearing protective equipment,
and they are part of a range of measures we offer to support
social distancing.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>Thank you,<u></u><u></u></p>
