Sports Medicine and Nutrition students (Jenny from Nutrition and Dan from Athletic Training) collaborated to deliver a hands-on workshop for high school students in the Investing Now college prep program 🏫

During the 2-hour workshop, students learned about macronutrient recommendations, designed a no-bake protein bar, evaluated its macronutrient content, and applied performance science to decide whether it worked best for pre-activity, post-activity, or recovery 💪🏻 🧑🏽‍🍳

Our Sports Medicine and Nutrition students from the DN and AT programs recently teamed up for an engaging IPE Diabetes Simulation experience. This year’s class focused on diabetes management strategies for athletes and hands-on practice with glucose monitoring.

Several students had the unique opportunity to wear continuous glucose monitors and share their firsthand experiences with the group.

A special thank you to our clinical instructor, Rebecca Grecek, MS, RDN, LDN, CDCES, for once again sharing your knowledge and expertise with our students!

Tuesdays intro to functional lab: breaking down packaged foods and rebuilding them through a functional nutrition lens.

Larabar or copycat?
Ingredient swaps, nutrient trade-offs, and taste tests.

Tastings in progress
Because function still has to taste good.

Tomato soup + calculations
Cost, nutrients, and portions—numbers matter.

Perfect Bar… or copycat?
What changes when we make it ourselves?

Black bean brownies (aka “bioactive bites”)
Food science meets creativity.

Talking through chickpea cookie dough
Texture, protein, fiber, and feasibility—real-world decision making.

Hands-on labs like this help students move beyond labels to think critically about food, function, and application. 🍴🧠
