😊 Still energized from this one.
Our “Eat Well, Learn Well: The Power of Plant-Forward Nutrition” 🥗Lunch & Learn was recently featured in 🗞️ News@TheU — and I couldn’t be more proud of what our students helped bring to life.
We gathered to explore the science of plant-forward eating — from cardiometabolic health and inflammation to practical strategies students can actually apply. It was an honor to host experts & from the 🩺 and to collaborate with to translate evidence into a vibrant, thoughtfully curated meal.
What makes this especially meaningful to me is watching students lean into evidence-based nutrition — asking sharper questions, challenging misinformation, and thinking critically about food, health, and prevention. That momentum is exactly what we hope to build through our newly approved Nutrition Science Minor at the ’s
Deep gratitude to of the PCRM President’s Council & the UM citizens board for your endless commitment to the cause and to our student leaders from for executing this event beautifully — and to journalist ✍️Janette Tannen for capturing the heart and science of the day.
