Ben Wang: Food lover and undergraduate researcher

Ben Wang, a senior Evolutionary Anthropology major, strongly believes we are what we eat. 

In the summer of 2014, he pursued a Bass Connections fellowship, the Program for Appalachian Girls' Education, in rural Appalachia, in one of the most impoverished counties in the US. He participated in a Farm-to-Table partnership between local Appalachian farms and a middle school, which was part of a broader program for Appalachian girls to introduce a new perspective to them through healthy eating.
