Hello club members! I wanted to let you all know that Cooking Matters, a program associated with Care and Share Food Bank that provides cooking and nutrition classes to adults in families in the community is in need of volunteers for some of their 2019 courses. Cooking Matters is a fabulous opportunity to get experience and share your nutrition knowledge/cooking skills with the community. Please keep in mind that volunteering with a Cooking Matters course is a 6-week commitment and classes are held once per week (volunteers can usually expect to volunteer about 3-4 hours for each weekly class). I will leave a link below so that you all can check this out!

Also, Sodexo at Memorial Central has an opening for a part-time Room Service Associate. This is a great job for those seeking clinical clinical experience and patient interaction! I will also leave a link to that job posting below so that you can check it out if it's something you may be interested in. Thanks everyone! 🙂

Hi all,
In an effort to help connect our current UCCS nutrition students with clinical preceptors, we are asking ALL UCCS Nutrition Alumni who have completed internships to fill out this short survey. Also, if you know any UCCS Nutrition Alumni who have completed internships, but are not part of this page, please reach out to them with the survey link so that they can fill out the survey. This is a huge help to students, and we really appreciate any feedback that you can provide! Thank you! 🍊🍇🍐

This survey will be used for the benefit of current UCCS DPD nutrition students applying for distance internships.

Hello members! This Thursday, November 29th from 9:30AM-10:30AM in University Hall 132, we will be having our final Nutrition Club meeting for the fall 2018 semester! At this meeting, we’ve put together a presentation for you about opportunities in the Colorado Springs area for getting nutrition-related experience (this includes volunteer and paid experience) and we will be sharing a little bit about our experiences at some of the sites we’re sharing with you all. We will also be going over a couple of other extracurricular activities and organizations that we think are relevant and beneficial to you all as DPD students. We hope you can attend, and we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday morning! 🙂 also, if you ordered a club t-shirt, the t-shirts have arrived in the mail and you will be able to pick yours up at this meeting!

For those of you who cannot attend the meeting, we will be sending out an email with the PowerPoint presentation that we are presenting, so you will have a copy of it. However, if you are able to attend, you’ll have the opportunity to hear about our experiences volunteering at different sites in the community and ask any questions. If you are not on our email list, but would like to be, please comment below and a club officer will reach out to you to get your email and add you to the list.
