What does it take to build a food-secure future for Texas? This special panel event will bring together food experts and leaders working on food access and sustainability. Featuring Raj Patel, Alex Racelis, Edwin Marty, and Adrian Lipscombe, the discussion will explore the challenges and solutions shaping food security across our state. Join us to hear their perspectives and learn how communities can help build a more resilient food system.
Food Drive
We’re partnering with UT Outpost, the campus food pantry, for a food drive! Stop by the UT Outpost table during Cool Activities to drop off non-perishable items (canned meat, canned soup, pasta, canned fruit, and other pre-packaged healthy items). Every donation helps keep UT students and community members fed. Bring a friend, bring a can, and be part of the solution.
Arrive early and explore Cool Activities from 5:30 – 6:40! Local organizations will share exciting hands-on activities related to the talk! List of activities coming soon!
