While their time is nearly up as the semester draws to a close, we also wanted to highlight our student interns this fall:
Julia Callahan will be graduating from SLU in December and worked at the Canton Farmers Market during her internship.
John Thomas Caulfield, a SLU senior, has been working on analyzing data from this year's farmers market season. Camille Duquet, a SLU senior, helped us update the Hunger 101 program by adding a farmers market component to it. Jamie Oriol, a SLU senior, has been working on developing food systems education materials geared to middle and high school students.
