Sustainable Food Systems Fellowship

Sustainable Food Systems Fellows lead research projects to study campus food systems at Santa Clara University. Their research projects aim to increase understanding of our campus food systems’ environmental and social impact, as well as to identify actionable steps for improving these systems. The Fellowship provides practical experience and strengthens students’ skills for future academic endeavors, early-career jobs, and graduate school research. The experience concludes with a paper and presentation to share findings and recommendations. Fellows collaborate on their project together and work with faculty and staff mentors, including administration and Dining Service leadership. The Food Systems Fellowship is not currently an active position at Santa Clara University.
