Student Expo and WellWorks

On Thursday I presented my poster at the student expo. My poster was titled Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire for Athletic Training Students. It was a great experience presenting for the first time at the expo. Remi and I had food models and sports equipment by our posters, and it brought more people to our posters. Many of the AT students who took the survey stopped by to see how the study turned out. A lot of classmates came as well which was nice. I had a chance to walk around and look at other posters as well.

During the second half of class Heidi Anderson from WellWorks came in and talked about her community nutrition and public health experience. I didn't make it to her presentation because I stayed at the expo. However, Heidi is the education and special events coordinator. She is an RD and has a masters in public health. WellWorks mission is to be the highest quality wellness program for our customers and to combine academic and experiential learning for our students. Their vision is WellWorks will be a regionally prominent wellness program that offers a continuum of lifestyle services to impact the health behaviors and wellness culture of our community. I wish I could have heard more of Heidi's personal story and her public health experience.
