"If more people got excited about vegetables, things would be a heck of a lot better." - Lauren Clapp '13 in a new "I Am Elon"
****
In the process of doing research for her Elon College Fellows final project, Lauren Clapp ’13, a human service studies and public health double major, learned that much of the eastern side of Burlington, N.C., is considered a food desert by the USDA. Together with her mentor, Beth Warner, associate professor and chair of the Department of Human Service Studies, Clapp is working to build a community garden in the city’s North Park at Mayco Bigelow Community Center.
