The Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition is recruiting 120 freshmen, sophomores, and/or juniors to take a peer mentoring course in the spring (1 credit) and then work with us on a research project the following year (2015-2016) to help freshmen adopt healthful habits as they integrate onto campus.
We are also offering a new 3 credit course that will only be available to 35 sophomores. In this course students will help college freshman and high school students prevent obesity through a number of approaches including developing interactive, social marketing environmental intervention that will be implemented at UF during the fall 2015 semester.
Here is a short video regarding the opportunity http://goo.gl/1HIxNp.
Enrollment for both courses will be departmentally controlled. If interested, please contact Dr. Anne Mathews or Dr. Melissa Vilaro at: Anne.mathews@ufl.edu or mgraveley@phhp.ufl.edu
