Food for Thought (a Student-Designed Community)

Food for Thought is a program community designed by students, for students. Through this program, students should be prepared to engage in dialogue about contemporary issues. Participants will gain the ability to foster productive dialogue as well as practical culinary skills and an appreciation of diverse cultures. Beyond cooking food, students will participate in discussions and group events designed to facilitate a greater understanding of the background of the food itself, including its cultural context, its historical significance, and its relation to current issues. This program seeks to foster tight-knit communities and create a safe and inclusive learning environment for students of different backgrounds, cultures, and identities.
