Early Immersion Presentation of “Fuel Up Right. It’s a Jungle Out There” for UNIV1000 First Year Experience Students

Our very own KPCOM’s nutrition department partnered with Publix Aprons Cooking School to provide a fun, nutrition focused activity for First Year Experience students. The freshman enjoyed a nutrition lesson, a grocery store scavenger hunt and finished off with creating their own unique smoothies with fresh fruits and vegetables. Faculty and graduate nutrition students provided nutrition education and facilitated the activities. The scavenger hunt winners received prizes provided by the ExEL Career Services team. All participants were entered into a drawing to win a free Aprons cooking class. We are grateful to our community partner, Publix Aprons, Chef Rey and his awesome team for making this event a great success!  Our next Early Immersion event is on Nov 6th and a secondary offering on the 7th. If interested in our next free event, please sign up via ExEL Career Services. Graduate students involved include Cara Millman and Angelica Green. Faculty included Melinda Luis, M.S., RDN, LDN Adjunct Faculty, Petra Colindres, M.A., RDN, LDN, IBCLC, Assistant Professor, Nadine Milkati, Ph.D., RDN, LDN Associate Professor.
