New student-run health promotion/nutrition education initiative

 

My name is Malinda Gong, and I am a third-year pre-med Nutritional Sciences major minoring in Health Disparities. This semester, I have started a student-run initiative called In the Nutri-Know with the mission of promoting individual and community health through nutrition education, and we are currently looking for students to join our team.

 

The goal of In the Nutri-Know is to facilitate simple, beneficial dietary changes by sharing practical information on the link between nutrition and health, through the creation and distribution of infographics.

 

We believe that many communities, such as those with lower rates of health literacy, may find value in accessible and digestible resources like infographics that provide useful nutrition and health-related knowledge. Through our infographics, we hope to make balanced nutrition less intimidating by providing relevant information and carefully designed recipes that encompass recommended dietary guidelines and take into consideration time, cost, and food availability barriers. We will be working with community organizations like free medical clinics to distribute these infographics to the surrounding community and will also be sharing them over online/social media platforms.

 

I was wondering if you would be willing to share this information with your students, as we would love to have a couple more students join our team. Specifically, we are looking for students interested in health/nutrition with some experience in art/graphic design to help put together our infographics!

 

Thank you for your consideration. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

 

Best,

Malinda Gong
