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.
From 5-8PM on Wednesday, March 24 and Thursday, March 25, we are inviting you to attend Rooting for Change: Student Food Summit! The two-day summit will consist of Zoom webinars and breakout sessions, as well as an optional networking happy hour after Wednesday's session. While breakout sessions and the happy hour are specifically for students, anyone is welcome to attend the Zoom webinars.
