Students on Media

 Written by JeJe Noval

Not only are our dietetic students prepared to face a job in either clinical nutrition, public health, or in the administrative arena, but our students are also trained to be a dietitian on media. In my Capstone Nutrition and Dietetics course, the students learn about being ready to be in front of the camera and how to handle speaking and being interviewed for television.

This is the third year we have adopted this additional training into our curriculum. We have partnered with Smart Lifestyle TV. Last week, the students showed up at the studio to individually film a 30-second "Nutrition Bit", which offers helpful nutrition advice. The "Nutrition Bits" will be edited and then will be airing on the Smart Lifestyle TV network in between their programs.

 LLU Allied Health graduate dietetic students are definitely spreading the word of good nutrition all over the world through this wonderful avenue!
