Why are you taking this nutrition class, and what are your personal goals for what you will learn? If you are a nutrition major, are there specific issues that are of special interest to you as you embark upon your study of nutrition? If so, are there faculty members at your university who are experts in these fields?


“As you consider your personal goals, briefly peruse the textbook to determine if new areas of nutrition knowledge are of interest to you.
“If you are a nutrition major, then consider becoming a member of the American Dietetic Association, your state’s Dietetic Association, and participating in your local Dietetic Association events to learn more about current national, statewide, and nutrition-related community events. ADA’s House of Delegates is currently discussing 2 hot topics: Health Disparities and Nutritional Genomics & Informatics.
“As you explore your future, faculty are more than willing to set aside time and discuss possible areas of interest and direction. Be sure to be professional and set up an appointment for a more thoughtful serious discussion of your career concerns.”
