For the spring term, the application for this grant opens on Monday, March 10 and closes Wednesday, March 12. Please review the eligibility criteria; if eligible, apply sooner than later!
New Spring Term NUTR Course Offering
Some food for thought: the Nutrition Department is pleased to offer a new 3-credit course this spring, NUTR 150, that explores the tethers between food and health, culture, climate change, sustainability, and other important phenomena within our lives. Crucially, you’ll also learn more about how to eat strategically on a budget. This should be a fascinating course, and it’s open to everyone regardless of their major!
New Spring Term NUTR/KIN Course Offering
Speaking of new food-related courses, the COH is offering a new 3-credit course, NUTR 499, focusing on food intake, metabolism, and regulation. Learn more about the physiological explanations for food-related health issues, the energy derived from food consumption, and more.
OHSU Offering MS in Food Systems and Society
For those with interests in nutrition, public health, and/or social justice who aspire to earn a master’s degree, did you know that Oregon Health & Science University offers a Master of Science in Food Systems and Society? Visit the program website to learn more about the courses and application as well as how it may overlap with any Dietetics internships.
