International Luncheon
Students to recount experiences studying food security in Senegal
Three Monmouth College students who traveled to Senegal earlier this year will share stories about their experiences at the first International Luncheon of the academic year at noon Oct. 6 in the Whiteman-McMillan Highlander Room of Stockdale Center.
Alexandra Izquierdo ’18 of Monmouth, Elizabeth Smith ’19 of Oswego, Ill., and Jessica Jablonski ’18 of Elburn, Ill., will discuss their 17-day trip to the western African nation, where they were part of a Monmouth group studying food security.
Izquierdo will describe her research on solidarity, gender roles, food security, education and technology, while Smith will discuss the challenges of being a foreigner. Jablonski will share how Senegal changed her views on the meaning of food security.
The interdisciplinary trip included several days in the peninsula city of Dakar, as well as travels to Thies, Ngaparou, Rufisque, Joal Fadiout, Cayor and the island city of Goree.
The discussion portion of the program is free; a meal featuring international cuisine is $8.50 for faculty, staff and the general public. Reservations for the meal must be made by Oct. 2 by calling 309-457- 2253 or e-mailing Marie Prince.
