February 28: CME Student Organizes World Hunger Summit With Record Turnout

The World Hunger Summit, organized by CME student Gavin Armstrong, was a tremendous success. Hundreds of people from across North America gathered on the weekend for the annual Universities Fighting World Hunger Summit. It's the sixth summit, but the first time the event has taken place outside the U.S.

"It's a landmark event, primarily I think because it was an idea instigated by a student, and then organized almost entirely by an undergraduate student," says Alastair Summerlee, president of the University of Guelph,

Discussions and keynote speeches, included one from former governor general Michaëlle Jean, discussing the theme "Hunger has no Boundaries.”
