On March 5 & 6, 2012, Kansas Campus Compact, with support from Numana, Inc. will be hosting The Kansas Hunger Dialogue in Overland Park, KS.

In 2011, the first ever Kansas Hunger Dialogue was held. Our goal then, as it is now, is to develop a statewide consensus among institutions of higher learning to impact hunger with the state of Kansas and ultimately, the world.  Last year's event was an exciting and energizing affair that generated significant momentum at Kansas colleges to take action on global and domestic hunger.

The goal of the 2012 KHD is to continue and deepen this conversation among presidents, administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community members affiliated with Kansas colleges and universities and strengthen this growing commitment on the part of colleges and universities to integrate hunger awareness, advocacy, and action into their work.  Attendees to the Kansas Hunger Dialogue will gain the tools, networks, and inspiration to ensure that action on hunger continues to be a hallmark of Kansas higher education. Our keynote speakers will will inspire and challenge us to reject complacency, educate ourselves and take action in this most important cause, and panelists from across the nation and around the world will help us foster a true dialogue about why we should and how we can work to end hunger.

Please make plans to join us at The Kansas Hunger Dialogue this March. We want your voice to be heard. Please contact us with any questions or comments you may have about how your campus can get involved in fighting hunger or for more details about this informative event.
