Rooting for Change!
UMSFP Student Food Summit
UM Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP) connects food, environmental, and social justice-oriented clubs on campus to create a network of empowered students working to better our food system both on-campus and in the surrounding community.
The UM Sustainable Food Program is inviting you to attend Rooting for Change: Student Food Summit! The two-day event will consist of student-led learnshops, a storytelling event Tiny Talks about Food Justice, and a keynote address Food as Healing with Shane Bernardo. Also on the program are a networking happy hour on Wednesday evening and well-being breaks to cultivate personal resilience on both days.
U-M students are welcome to attend some or all of this free event. Register for learnshops along one track (Identity, Equity, & Justice | Hands-on Learning | Resources for Student Orgs) or pick and choose individual learnshops based on your interests.
Staff, faculty, and community members are invited to join in for Tiny Talks at 7pm on Wed, 3/24 and the keynote event at 7pm on Thurs, 3/25.
Our objectives in hosting this summit are to:
* Foster collaboration between UMSFP Member Groups, Working Group participants, UMSFP, Campus Farm, Maize and Blue Cupboard students
* Inspire deeper engagement with co-curricular opportunities to engage with sustainable food at U-M
* Promote a sense of personal and organizational connectedness to one another and to the food we grow, buy, sell, cook, and eat
* Challenge attendees to explore all aspects of the food system through the lens of social justice
* Center fun, relationship-building, and well-being in this work
