Â鶹´«Ã½

I chose this major because I am interested in the relationships between what we eat and how it affects both our health and the health of the planet.

I enjoyed learning about how diet can both prevent and treat many of our major chronic health conditions.

I am a board member of the Student Dietetics Association, a Â鶹´«Ã½ member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, I volunteered at the YWCA, KVCC Food Innovation Center, and I have also led community cooking classes at the People's Food Co-op and assisted with cooking classes for WMU staff.

If they are thinking about the Dietetics program specifically, I would tell them that WMU is a great school. The staff/instructors that run the nutrition and dietetics program have a vested interest in seeing their Â鶹´«Ã½s succeed and are passionate about instilling as much knowledge as they can in their Â鶹´«Ã½s. The program offers ample Â鶹´«Ã½ to build experience and relationships with community members. I would tell them that if they take advantage of the Â鶹´«Ã½ provided, they will be set up for success.
