Student Corner
Fellow students: Do you want to learn more about the registered dietitian’s role in sustainable and accessible food and water systems? Do you want to learn more about how nutrition, hunger, the environment, government policy, education, research and action play into the role of the registered dietitian? Do you want to be part of the solution? Are you wondering where to get started?
The Hunger and Environmental Nutrition DPG recognizes the importance of educating and involving students in our efforts, so we’ve created a special student membership category. It is the DPG’s vision that HEN members are the most valued source of nutrition services to promote access to nutritious food and clean water from a secure and sustainable environment. HEN student membership will offer students camaraderie, professional support and beneficial networking to enhance your professional development in these key areas.
HEN student activities:
Read about the actions of other student members across the nation through the new Student Corner column in the HEN DPG Quarterly Newsletter. Share actions you have taken in the realm of hunger and environmental nutrition through the Student Spotlight of the HEN DPG website.
To contribute to any of these endeavors or learn more, get in touch with student committee co-chairs Erin Feld (FELDEE@ihs.org) or Lorna Power (lpower@hunter.cuny.edu).
If you are a student interested in HEN membership, download the special student application and receive a membership for only $15.
