Loyola has received a grant from the U.S. State Department to fund scholarships for underrepresented students to attend the VIETNAM CENTER. The grant is especially geared toward the study of environmental sciences and provides for Loyola to bring Vietnamese environmental scientists to Chicago for workshops on developing courses in the same area.
SUSTAINABILITY Feeding the
future As the national population of farm- ers ages, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is focused on developing a pipeline of new people trained in in- novative and sustainable practices for entry into the food sector. In response, Loyola is developing an interdisciplin- ary and comprehensive Food Systems program. Students will learn about plant and soil science, integrated pest management, water conservation practices, and the science and practice of growing food, as well as marketing, packing, and selling. Courses will also cover policy, such
as Public Health Department and USDA inspections, licensing, government regulations, and the Farm Bill, as well as the public health aspects of food systems, such as nutrition, obesity, and diabetes. This is one of several academic programs being developed in the new Institute of Environmental Sustainability.

Over 650 festival-goers browsed a mini-farmers market, warmed up by a bonfire; lent a hand with the harvest from the local garden, participated in a wetland-restoration workshop, and enjoyed live music.
• Teresa Wronski (BS ‘75), associate dean, Student Affairs, won the Dux Mirabilis Award for extraordinary leadership.
