Food for Thought

A live cooking program with campus chefs

Tuesday, September 22, 2026 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

In-person cooking session: Sweet & Sour Chicken and Tofu Stir Fry

In community and supported by a chef, students will develop food literacy through cooking tasty, nutritious, culturally specific meals on a budget. Come join us to learn about meal prepping, importance of nutrition while studying, grocery shopping tips, and safe food storage techniques. 

Note: All ingredients used will be halal and nut-free. Please feel free to indicate any dietary restrictions by answering the registration question.

Conversation circle:

This section is open to ALL students, even if you are wait-listed.

Students will also engage in an optional conversation (~30-45 min) to discuss food from a decolonial lens. Instead of having one restrictive topic, the goal would be to build community with peers, foster conversation, and enjoying the food prepared in a community setting.

Important Note: Event location is Pearl Sullivan Engineering (formerly E7) IDEAs Clinic (E7 1427)
