Speakers: Natalie Hand, Looks For Buffalo Foundation
Title: The Skinny on Hunger
During the fall semester, 17 CU students have been writing grant proposals, funding request letters, marketing plans and operations manuals for local nonprofit groups including Conscious Alliance, Growing Gardens and the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless. The goal of the class is not only to teach students about writing and hunger but also to create hands-on, meaningful experiences, according to Neal McConomy, a CU-Boulder writing instructor with the Program for Writing and Rhetoric who developed the course with Justin Levy.
The students will present their class research on hunger and how it impacts different groups of people at a free public symposium, featuring keynote speaker Natalie Hand, co-founder of the Looks For Buffalo Foundation on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
The symposium also will serve as a food drive. Attendees who donate food will receive a commemorative print created by artist Rob Marx.
For more information on the symposium contact Neal McConomy, 217-725-3218 or Greg Swenson, 303-492-3113.
