Noon - Lecture and Discussion

South City Campus, Grand Theatre

Gary Oppenhimer, a CNN Hero, a 1 2013 Points of Light honoree, and just named "Food Hero" by FoodTank (the food think thank), is founder of the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign. Aware of the increasing hunger problem in America, and in 2009, after seeing the amount of wasted food in the community garden as well as other gardens around the country, he created the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign - a nationwide effort to enable America's 40+ million home gardeners who grow food to be able to easily find a local food pantry eager for their excess garden bounty.

He has appeared in numerous radio and TV interviews, has spoken at Wharton's Social Responsibility Conference, the Food Conference at UC Davis, The Brooklyn Food Conference, and many others. Gary has also presented AmpleHarvest.org to USDA People's Garden Initiative Conference in Washington DC, hosted a webinar for 100,000 invited USDA employees on gardening and hunger, and has been interviewed numerous times by print and electronic media nationwide. AmpleHarvest.org works closely with First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initative to improve fresh food access at thousands of food pantries nationwide.

In addition to helping AmpleHarvest.org continue its expansion to food pantries and gardeners nationwide, Gary also does public speaking about hunger and the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign, individuals making a difference in their community as well as a variety of environmental topics.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college. SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.

This name change will make SLCC home to the only business school in Utah and one of only a few in the country to be named exclusively after a woman. “We are deeply humbled by the generosity of Gail and the Miller fam
