At the invitation of Mann Librarian Outreach and Engagement Specialist Jeff Piestrak, Shanna Ratner made two presentations followed by participatory engagement, one at Mann Library and one at the Tompkins County Library, respectively entitled: A Wealth Creation Approach to Community & Economic Development and Food Value Chains: Creating Health & Wealth for All. Shanna’s talks were made possible with support from Engaged Learning + Research, a new university-wide center designed to advance academic service-learning, community-based research, and public scholarship across a wide spectrum of academic disciplines and programs.
