Lunches Foster Community and Collaboration

Every other Friday, STRIDE team members gather around the conference room table to share a meal. The team invites faculty from across campus, student employees and community members to get together to discuss their work and interests, as well as avenues for future collaboration. The highlight of the community lunches is always the food — delicious, seasonal fare prepared by STRIDE team members.

Memorable lunches from this quarter and last include red, white, and green lasagna; roasted vegetable torte with Tuscan-style white beans; and a festive sweet potato-quinoa bake with cranberries and almonds. Creative meals featuring fresh produce embody STRIDE's goal — making good health accessible and enjoyable.
