My name is Laura Stevens, and I am a senior here, and I am studying Anthropology and double
majoring in German. Well right now, I work under Kate Nelson who’s UWM’s chief sustainability
officer and I am a student worker. My roles range from anything as working here in the
gardens some days, other days I’ll be in meetings helping out writing notes, answering
emails, doing social media, student outreach. It’s a very all encompassing job in sustainability.
I just think that nobody should have to feel that they don’t have access to fresh local
foods because either their economic status or where they live. Umm.. We invite anyone
to come into the UWM food and garden club. So we do have students who are involved, the
faculty and the staff, and then also, every once and a while we’ll have different organizations
that pop in. And it’s really good that we do have this wide range because it ensures
that the gardens will continue on in future years and will not just fall off because there’s
no one there to keep on the upkeep and make sure everything’s running the way it should.
