Across Campus - A Photo Essay

This week's gallery features the Kids Cooking in the Classroom series, where the University's Aramark chefs made a recent visit to the Children's Learning & Research Center (CLRC) to teach the young students about various fruits and vegetables. The chefs also created a farmer's market in which the children could pick fruits and vegetables to take home. Photos by Chuck Thomas.
