FOX 8 WGHP Spotlighted Bennett College’s Leadership in Food Justice Education<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In a report by Melissa Radamaker, viewers learned about the College’s innovative Gardening and Food Justice<\/em> course led by Dr. Anne C. Hayes, Executive Director of Global & Interdisciplinary Studies and Sustainability Lead. The story highlighted how Bennett<\/a> students examined food insecurity and food apartheid not only through academic study but through direct community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students volunteered at local food banks, cultivated produce in the campus garden, and met with community leaders addressing inequities in historically underserved neighborhoods. The segment also featured student voices — including a Fulbright scholar visiting from Morocco — underscoring Bennett’s global reach and local impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Hayes articulated the course’s dual mission: to cultivate civic responsibility while connecting students with changemakers transforming food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
