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 (VISIOIN | STRATEGY | SKILLS) 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
