Farm to Table: An Earth Day Event

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 @H-Wing Auditorium (H-129)

 

This day of events has two purposes:

(1) to raise awareness about the Farm-to-Table initiative and the importance of eating local produce

(2) to encourage professors and students to participate in the Farm to Table initiatives at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and Passaic County Community College, as well as K-12 schools, by suggesting possible class projects and student organization/club activities

Throughout the day there will be lectures, brainstorming class projects sessions, and a tour of the Ramapo garden. Most events will be in the H-Wing Auditorium (H-129), but also at fishbowl and outside by the Sustainability Center (see the program schedule below).

This event is supported by the PROSPER grant for the Ramapo PCCC 3+1 transfer program that encourages professors to incorporate experiential learning in classes. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Neriko Doerr atÌýndoerr@ramapo.edu.
