This past weekend, The Baltimore Sun's Education Section featured several Shriver Center-connected programs. On page 2, "Combining teaching and learning; opportunities in childhood education abound" highlights the work of The Maryland Early Childhood Leadership (MECLP). Longtime Shriver Living Learning Community junior Vunnathi Ankem, psychology, shares her experience of on-campus dining in "Food for thought: dining halls celebrate cultural diversity and tackle food insecurity" (page 3).
However, the article does not mention Retriever Essentials, a faculty, staff, and student partnership to tackle food insecurity in our university community. This campus-wide collaboration includes UMBC students through the Community Engaged Learning and the Shriver Peaceworker Fellows programs.
