NU Students and Workers Host Food Day Celebration!

Students and cafeteria workers at Northeastern University will celebrate Food Day with Justice in the Campus Food Chain, a dinner, panel, and roundtable discussion on Wednesday, October 24 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the McLeod Suites on the 3rd floor of the Curry Student Center. The roundtable will bring together coworkers and classmates from across the city’s many universities, along with cooks, farmworkers, sustainable food advocates, and community organizers, to envision a united movement for Real Food and Real Jobs. Locally sourced dinner will be provided by Northeastern Dining.
