This was my first experience with the D3, the Discussion and Dinner at Drexel…or is it the Dinner and Discussion at Drexel. Maybe it’s the Drexel Dinner and Discussion.
Anyways.
All I really want to point out about this lecture/free dinner was the irony of a lecture about sustainability and the benefits of local, fresh food that was catered by SODEXHO.
The MCS Society is hosting a bbq on Buckley Green from 1-3pm on Thursday 21 May 2009. All ChE’s should attend after the test and before the bar. This event is mandatory!

Green Topic: CoAS D3 on “Farming as an Urban Growth Industry”
The College of Arts and Sciences will host a D3, Dinner and Discussion at Drexel, event titled “Farming as an Urban Growth Industry” on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Private Dining Room, Handschumacher Dining Center (Chestnut Street between 32nd and 33rd Streets).
Speakers at the event include:
Dennis Burton, executive director of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education,
Ben Reynolds, network director of Sustain: The Alliance for Better Food and Farming, and
Marcia Caton Campbell, PhD, Milwaukee program director for the Greater Johnsons Park Initiative at Center for Resilient Cities.
Farming may have rural roots, but with 82 percent of America’s population living in urban areas, providing a means for healthy, safe and affordable food is a growing concern of the environmental and urban sustainability movement. Burton will provide an overview of Philadelphia’s current farm and policy initiative while Reynolds and Campbell will share how they’ve established land-based development and policy to promote urban agriculture in London and Milwaukee. This is an opportunity to learn how to increase Philadelphia’s access to fresh food, encourage sustainable agriculture and promote policy-friendly initiatives for growing the grange.
D3 is an ongoing series of discussions on interdisciplinary topics sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences. All Drexel students are invited to attend the free dinner and discussion.
For more information or to RSVP, contact Richardson Dilworth at rd43@drexel.edu.
This is required for this Poli-Sci class that I’m in. Sounds like fun, and maybe some fresh Philadelphia farm food!
Additional: The CoAS has these things about three times a quarter, and about different topics each time.
Additional Additional: Richardson Dilworth? Really? Wow, that’s unfortunate. But really, you probably should RSVP to this.
There was free food at the commuter car show last year (and I won a raffle! Woo free long-sleeve shirt!) so, no promises, but this should be good.
