Come join us to learn about the collaboration between Urbana’s organic farm, Sola Gratia, and Bhakti Verma, the College of Education-HRI Fellow. Her work linking wellness and education in Urbana public schools is part of a larger “farm to school” movement whose local roots you’ll have a chance to hear about as Bhakti joins Traci Barkley and Emily Stone in conversation. 

Panelists:

• Traci Barkley—Director, Sola Gratia Farm
• Emily Stone—Director of Public Engagement, College of Education
• Bhakti Verma—PhD student, Curriculum & Instruction
