Ohio Public Health Students Promoting Fresh Food, Nutrition; Local Farmers' Market Attracts Thousands

Beginning of article

PUBLIC health students in Columbus, Ohio, helped bring fresh fruits and vegetables to their community this past summer, thanks in part to funding from Ohio State University's College of Public Health.

A $15,000 grant from Women & Philanthropy, a charitable organization at the Ohio State University Foundation, enabled the College of Public Health to help support Columbus Public Health's fourth annual farmers' markets in July and August. Moreover, the school used a portion of the funds to hire College of Public Health doctoral student Malaika Stubbs-Wilson, MA, to help organize the events.
