Right Livelihood Award (or the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize, as it is sometimes known) laureate Wes Jackson is visiting UCSC to share his work and ideas on sustainable food systems. The Common Ground Center is hosting Jackson as part of their Right Livelihood College initiative, which connects UCSC students and the Santa Cruz community to visionary leaders, activists and thinkers such as Wes Jackson in order to work together towards a more just and sustainable future.

The event will begin at 7:00pm and last until 8:45. It will be held at the UCSC Sustainable Living Center in building A3. Free.

Also, there is free parking after 5pm on weekdays in the East Remote Parking Lot and the Campus Facilities Parking Lot (lot 116). It is then a 15 minute walk to the Sustainable Living Center A3 Building.
