We’ve mulled over ideas in Minneapolis, mowed through curriculum in Milwaukee – even brought The Campus Kitchens Project to its national headquarters in Washington, D.C.

This year, the Campus Kitchens Project’s Annual Conference will bore right to the heart of hunger, visiting its Baylor University site to partner with the annual BU Poverty Summit with three days of networking, entertainment, and academic thought.

Representatives of 25 Campus Kitchens, poverty scholars, and others from the Baylor community will converge in Baylor University’s Bill Daniel Center on the Waco, Texas campus to participate in sessions both poverty and CKP-themed, with a keynote address delivered by CKP/DCCK founder Robert Egger.

The conference runs from noon on Friday, October 8 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 10. A tentative schedule is included below.

To help round out the presentations, The Baylor University Poverty Summit and The Campus Kitchens Project have issued a Request for Proposal, calling for 75-minute presentations that address one of the following: community-building and development, engaging students in higher education to address poverty, international poverty alleviation, or hunger, poverty, and economics.

Online Applications for the call for presentations are due no later than August 13.
