On May 7 and 8, a delegation from the American University of Rome visited Seeds&Chips: The Global Food Innovation Summit in Milan. Seeds&Chips is dedicated to showcasing national and international talent and cutting-edge solutions from around the world to the problems of the Food System. Seeds&Chips Founder, Marco Gualtieri is committed to including young people in the summit. He states on seedsandchips.com: 鈥淥ur priority has always been to give young people a voice and a leading role at Seeds&Chips. We feel that by giving them the opportunities we can truly help them to shape their future. We cannot talk about innovation and be innovative without them.鈥� In keeping with that goal, Mr. Gualtieri invited two AUR students to participate in the summit and take part in two prominent panel discussions. Rama Jalab (Communications) was featured on a panel with Starbucks Executive Chairman Howard Schultz and Firas Al Jabban (Business Administration) was featured on a panel with former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Both students are from Syria and attend AUR due to scholarships provided by generous donors.
