Students head to National Food Recovery Dialog Conference
On Jan. 4, Laura Leben, senior environmental science major, was awarded $4,280 through the Slay Fund to bring eight members of Next Course – Food Recovery Network to the National Food Recovery Dialog Conference on April 2–4. The conference brings together student leaders and experts in the area of food recovery, food justice, and environmental law and policy to celebrate achievements, engage in workshops and discussions, and listen to speakers.

On April 4, these Drake students will also be attending a national lobby day for food recovery on Capitol Hill and have the opportunity to meet with legislators and discuss the issues of fighting waste and feeding people.
