dc.descriptionIncludes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Video @ Vanderbilt - Videos - VUCast: Lean learning and extreme giving." By Vanderbilt University. Amy Wolf appears for VUCast News Network. Wolf reports that Vanderbilt and Metro Nashville Parks are collaborating on a $12 million grant project to educate and change the eating and exercise habits of children and their families. Barb Cramer focuses on the pilot program on which the grant was based--Salud con la Familia, classes designed to teach Latino children and parents how to avoid obesity and diabetes. Shari Barkin and Juan Escarfuller of Vanderbilt Medical Center, and Juan Mondragon and Irma Flores, study participants, appear briefly. Viewers are invited to find healthy recipes on Vanderbilt's Health Plus website. Wolf reports on Professor of Law and Political Science Carol Swain's recent appearance testifying to Congress about U.S. agriculture's reliance on migrant and often undocumented foreign workers, noting that comedian Stephen Colbert testified on the same issue. Swain emphasized that government policy should ensure that the agricultural work go to U.S. citizens first, before guest worker programs are used to bring in other laborers. Wolf reports on the construction of a new building for Antioch's Lighthouse Christian School, which was hit by the May 2010 Nashville flood, with the help of the ABC television program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Associate Professor of Special Education Mary Louise Hemmeter consulted on the design of the building.en_US
