This will be done by means of the UC System Wide Food Day 2014 Pledge. – The UCI Community and beyond is invited to attend a free screening of the film, Food Patriots, followed by a panel discussion with members of our community from 5:30-8pm on Thursday, October 23rd in Social Sciences Lab (SSL), room 228. At this screening and panel discussion, students and members of the community will be exposed to the current state of the world concerning food access and our agricultural system while learning how to get involved with this movement. – Lastly, the GSRC will be hosting an Open House on October 24th in Student Center South, room G460 from 12-2pm.
