BDN publishes op-ed on findings from recent grad’s Honors thesis
The Bangor Daily News published the op-ed, “Community gardens reap good for us all — and not just vegetables,” written by recent University of Maine graduate Sarah Mullis. Mullis graduated magna cum laude in May with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a minor in Earth sciences. She was a fellow in the Honors College’s Sustainable Food Systems Research Collaborative in 2015. UMaine faculty Amy Blackstone, Mark Haggerty, John Jemison and Melissa Ladenheim worked with Mullis to write the op-ed that highlights findings from her recent Honors thesis. Blackstone is a member of the Maine chapter of the national Scholars Strategy Network, which brings together scholars across the country to address public challenges and their policy implications. Members’ columns appear in the BDN every other week.
