A poster for USG's Civic Engagement Series event, "Hunger Pains in Montgomery County: The Broad Reaching Effects of Hunger in Our Community." Montgomery County is the wealthiest county in the United States, yet 1 out of 3 public school students receives free or reduced lunch.

Dining With the Chefs is a fundraiser hosted by USG's chapter of "Campus Kitchens," made up of students from UMES's Hospitality Management program. Local chefs such as Chef Ype Von Hengst from Silver Diner create a tasting menu for guests, and all proceeds help Campus Kitchens in their mission to end hunger in Montgomery County. I love this 11x17" poster because I am particularly proud of the chef's hat logo that I created with the title text, and because I appreciate the opportunities that I receive to use my art to promote Campus Kitchens.
