Planning Student Authors Article for New Planner Magazine

Benjamin H. Chrisinger, fourth-year Urban and Environmental Planning student is the author of, "Expanding the Academic Menu - Today’s Planning Students Have an Appetite for Food Systems" published in the American Planning Association’s "The New Planner" online magazine. Access to the magazine is restricted to APA members, but the first paragraph of the article is included below:

"At colleges and universities across the country, students are putting their shovels into soil, laying out beds and rows, sowing seeds, mixing compost, and making statements about food. In Virginia alone, three public institutions started student gardens during the past academic year. Though they differ in size, scope, and style, all student gardens seem to make a point of saying ‘our food doesn’t come from the grocery store.’"
