USDA Pathways (2017-2022)
Pathways to Success for Hispanic Students as Registered Dietitians (“Pathways”)
The CSUN/NEVHC Dietetic Internship in collaboration with the CSUN Marilyn Magaram Center for Food Science, Nutrition, and Dietetics would like to extend an invitation to you to join our Peer Mentoring Program, a mentorship program for culturally diverse students applying to dietetic internships. The aim of this program is to increase diversity in dietetics by guiding under-represented dietetic students through the internship application process. CSUN dietetic interns will provide one-on-one guidance, coaching and support of students through the dietetic internship application process. We encourage students of all diverse groups to apply.
For more information, please contact: magaram.center@csun.edu
Our Pathways fellows attended the annual USDA NIFA and AAHHE conference and presented their research posters and projects.
