In a few months, Grand County’s Class of 2023 will participate in several graduation traditions. And they’ll create a new one. For the first time, all students will wear the same color graduation robe – red. Today on the news, we speak to two students who helped advocate for a more unified and inclusive commencement. And later, the Utah Food Bank has received funding for distributing what it calls more ‘culturally responsive’ foods. Plus, organizations around the world have a chance to win funding for climate solutions from an Aspen-based nonprofit.
