The UE Gardeners will again offer a Farmers' Market from 7:30AM-9AM this Friday, July 17, at the garden site on 1600 John Street. Available produce will include onions, potatoes (red and white), basil (red and green), kale, sweet peppers, tomatoes, green beans, eggplant, summer squash, cucumbers, and (maybe, with luck) pears. There will also be fresh-picked sunflowers and zinnias.  Please come, enjoy the garden space, and help this community-university project continue.

Check out the photos below to see what was picked from the UE Gardens last Friday! A similar harvest will be available this Friday.

Interested in volunteering to help with the garden? Dr. Bill Hemminger will add you to a mailing list, and he regularly sends out notices of when he will be at the garden. You are welcome to come help, and volunteers are welcome to take produce relative to their efforts at the garden.

Social impacts from COVID-19, the deaths of Ahmaud Arbury, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, calls for reforms to policing and criminal justice, voter access for state primaries and the lead up to the presidential election, social movements, and more. These topics have a race dimension that will be a significant concern for many of our students and employees during the coming year.

Please join us for another live episode of "Race and...Conversations About Race in America." The discussion will take place on Zoom at 1PM on Wednesday, September 2, with Rob Shelby, PhD. In this webinar, Rob will welcome special guests Kyle Jones and Becca Patton of Student Christian Fellowship.
