On October 3rd from 7:00-9:00 P.M. in the Recreation and Convocation Center Gym, please join us for a talk given by the Freshman Studies Common Theme speaker, author Kelsey Timmerman. Timmerman is a journalist who decided to trace where his food came from, beginning when he traveled to Columbia to see where his Starbucks coffee was grown and who picked it. His book, “Where Am I Eating?” raises questions about a variety of topics relevant to various disciplines including farm workers’ rights, sustainability, health and nutrition, corporate responsibility, globalization, hunger, and modern slavery. Faculty, staff and students are invited to attend. Book signing to follow the lecture. Check out the full event flyer here.
