Nutrition Check-Up

Coming Soon!
These brief 15-20 minute sessions are a chance to learn your “Nutrition Personality” and talk through some of the obstacles you face in making healthy choices. Please note that these sessions will not be conducted by a registered dietitian and do not constitute medical nutrition therapy; should you wish to meet with a registered and licensed dietitian, please call (612) 625-3222 to schedule an appointment.

Update 11/5/2009: Thanks for your interest in College Cooking 101. We apologize, but all cooking sessions for the fall semester have been filled. A schedule for spring sessions will be posted soon.

Group Presentations

Members of SNAC are available for public speaking opportunities for campus groups large and small. We can craft a presentation on a specific topic and always provide relevant handouts and resources. Commonly requested topics are general nutrition, eating disorders, and sports nutrition. Please contact us at least 1 week in advance of your event. To schedule a presentation, contact the SNAC coordinator Christine Twait at ctwait@bhs.umn.edu or (612) 624-4663.
