FN507 Service Learning/Field Experience in Community Nutrition

The overall objective of this course is to help students develop an integrative framework for community nutrition that combines direct practice with a service project. Students learn to apply discipline-related knowledge through a service learning/field experience under the guidance of a community sponsor. Students develop a project proposal leading to a final service-learning porfolio designed to bring together project assessment with an awareness of the context, cultural landscape, and public policy issues impacting community organizations. Requires a minimum of 10 hours field experience in addition to designated class time. Class time focuses on aspects of the student's role in field work, developing supervisory relationships, and expectations of professionalism.
