The 2026 SFA Encuentro is starting NOW! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, fundraised, applied, volunteered, agreed to share their art or talents, or helped spread the word. We couldn’t do it without you! 🍅❣️

This art piece, entitled “Students for Fair Food (Estudiantes por Comida Justa)”, was illustrated by a member of our 2026 SFA Steering Committee named Claire for this year’s Encuentro and the Fair Food University campaign. Stay tuned for updates about the new campaign after the weekend comes to a close 👀

Join the CIW and student allies at Bond Hall this Wednesday, September 30th at 9 PM to learn more about the Fair Food University campaign, how it’s working on other campuses, and how you can get involved at University of Notre Dame! 🍅

Thank you so much to the Institute for Latino Studies, the Institute for Social Concerns, University of Notre Dame, and the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism for hosting us and this crucially important conversation.
