The end of the 2014-2015 school year brought numerous celebratory moments in the Food Lab.  Three students, Nathan Attard, Kelley Mosher, and Jenny Whittaker graduated on May 15th and all were honored with awards at the commencement ceremony and at the School of Architecture and Planning’s awards celebration.  

Nathan graduated with a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning with a specialization in GIS and spatial analysis.  He received the Chairs Award for his consistent, high-caliber work during his time in the program.  Currently, he is coordinating the evaluation of the Buffalo Neighborhood Food Project, a partnership between Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo and Massachusetts Avenue Project. 

Kelley Mosher graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design and a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Environmental Studies. She was inducted as a member of Tau Sigma Delta honor society and won the Public Service Award from the School of Architecture and Planning. 

Jenny also graduated with a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning with a generalist specialization in research methods. She received the AICP Excellence Award from the Western New York Division of the American Institute of Certified Planners for having the highest promise for professional excellence.  She was also the recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence.  

We are proud of the hard work of all our students in the Food Lab!
