    Nutritional Programs

    College and University

    College campus settings may be a critical setting for the development and maintenance of healthful dietary behaviors. As young adults transition from high school to college, oftentimes their physical environment, social environments, and lifestyles change.

    Behavioral Nutrition's Philosophy and Goals

    The goal of this program is to assess the current nutritional value of foods and beverages offered to students through dining halls, cafes and vending machines.

    We aim to modify food availability to improve energy levels, enhance mental health, and decrease the risk for chronic disease in students. By balancing macronutrients, we support sustained energy for cognitive function and academic success.
