  • WTFSNB Final Report 9 5 17
    New Brunswick Community Food Assessment Working Together for a Food Secure New Brunswick Editors Kathe Newman Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement Cara Cuite Department of Human Ecology, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Erin Royals Doctoral student, Geography Department Rutgers University September 2017 Preface Mark Winne, Senior Advisor at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future Imagine walking into a poorly lit and cluttered attic. You’re trying to find some boxes you carefully set aside over the past several years filled with kitchen utensils and plates that you now want to give to a relative. But your memory deceives you as you trip over accumulated containers and used pieces of furniture. Much to your consternation, that neat and tidy space you thought you knew so well grows murky and impenetrable. You discover things you forgot you had and fail to find the things you want. But rather than stomp out in frustration, you resolve to install brighter lights, make a proper inventory and diagram, and enlist your family members in a coordinated reordering of what has become a confusing and inefficient space. Food systems are much like cluttered attics. Just when we thought we knew who has enough good food and who doesn’t, new information emerges that alters our understanding of hunger and healthy eating. When we thought we had an accurate idea of the places where people get food, grow food, and learn about food, a new food pantry or farmers market opens, somewhere else a supermarket closes, or a new federal or state food program begins.

    The JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES VOLUME LI DECEMBER 1989 NUMBER 2 THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LESBIAN/GAY ALLIANCE 1969-1989 THE FIRST TWENTY YEARSt BY DAVID NICHOLS AND MORRIS J. KAFKA-HOZSCHLAG Mr. Nichols graduated from Rutgers College in 1975 and currently runs his own business. Mr. Kafka-Holzschlag graduated from Rutgers College in 1987 and is an historian in New Brunswick, N.J. Introduction On June 27, 1969, the New York City Police raided the Stonewall Inn, an after-hours bar on Christopher Street in the Village. The Stone- wall was a popular spot with the drag queens and the younger crowd. On an ordinary night the patrons of such an establishment would have reacted in a frightened, docile manner. This, however, was no ordinary night. The drag queens and other patrons were fed up with being harrassed and spontaneously fought back, shocking the police. Officers were pelted with bottles and stones while they waited, barricaded inside the bar, for rein- forcements as a crowd gathered outside. Police began to drag employees and patrons of the Stonewall into a paddy wagon. Shouts of "Gay Power," cheers and choruses of "We Shall Overcome" rose from the crowd. A drag queen defended herself with her purse as she was shoved into the wagon and was clubbed by a police officer; the crowd became angrier. t Rutgers Department of Special Collections and Archives is the depository for the Rutgers University Lesbian/Gay Archives, upon whose holdings much of this article is based. 56 THE JOURNAL OF THE The paddy wagon drove off but the restless crowd wouldn't disperse.

    Opening Remarks: Dr. Narayan Mandayam, ECE Department Chair Opening Remarks: Dr. Thomas Farris, Dean, School of Engineering Introduction: Dr. Wade Trappe, ECE Undergraduate Director Undergraduate Program Awards: Leadership and Service Presenter: Dr. Wade Trappe, ECE Undergraduate Director Undergraduate Program Awards: Leadership and Service Samantha Cheng Ambassador, Department Liaison Samantha Cheng is graduating with a double major in Computer Engineering and English. She was the ECE department liaison for the engineering ambassador program as well as a peer mentor, and had a great time working with the ECE faculty and students. After graduation, she will be working at Akamai Technologies in their platform engineering rotation program. Undergraduate Program Awards: Leadership and Service Presenter: Dr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu Undergraduate Program Awards: Leadership and Service Ariela Chomski RU IEEE President I am graduating from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). During my time at Rutgers, I've been an active member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Student Branch at Rutgers. I attended Novice2Expert Coding Python classes and was involved with the VEXU Robotics team through IEEE. Last year, I served as the student branch's Treasurer and served as its President this past year. Despite the trying circumstances, Rutgers IEEE ran several new, successful initiatives like the ECE Faculty Coffee Chat series and a virtual hackathon. Our Discord server also saw tremendous growth, going from 500 members to over 1000 members. After graduation, I will be working as part of the Digital Design team at L3Harris in the Clifton, NJ office. I'm so thankful for all the opportunities I've had through the ECE department and IEEE and can't wait to apply what I've learned in my professional life.

This is also a great opportunity to learn more about the Rutgers student experience. This option is open to students only during Mon-Thursday. Please bring $12 to cover lunch at our buffet-style dining hall. You will need to submit your request with at least 2-weeks notice. Requests are accommodated on a first-come, first-serve basis. School of Engineering I am currently a junior, majoring in mechanical engineering. I am an international student from Pakistan, I came to America as a freshman at Rutgers University and currently live off-campus. I am a part of Rutgers Formula Racing Club (RFR) which is a club that aims at designing, building and optimizing a Formula One car to race in various different competitions. In addition to my engineering involvement, I am also a part of Nightshade which is Rutgers Women's Ultimate Frisbee Team. I also conducted research on campus with Dr. Howon Lee, a mechanical engineering professor, on a 3D multi- material printing system that prints using a UV curable resin. Two other undergraduate students and I took over the project from a graduate student after his graduation. Since the system was already built, I had the opportunity to program the system to help run it more smoothly and efficiently. I also work as a tutor for the School of Engineering where I assist students Adeela STEM subjects such as writing, calculus, and physics.
