At the University of California Cooperative Extension, we are proud to partner with the dietitians of tomorrow!

Since August we have worked with 5 dietetic interns from California State University, Fresno.  I have had the pleasure of taking them to school sites, and showing them a typical day in the life of a Community Education Specialist working in community nutrition.

Intern Cori Vankerkhove presents a lesson about why it's important to wash your hands to Ms. Ramos' 1st grade class at Chavez Elementary.

Cori Vankerkhove teaching another class. This time she's teaching our Healthy Body lesson to Ms. Silva's 5th grade class at Chavez Elementary.

Intern Reshma John teaching our 'wash your hands' lesson to Mrs. Llamas 1st grade class at Bishop Elementary in Coalinga.

We look forward to working with additional Fresno State dietetic interns in January! To learn more about the Fresno State Dietetics Program, Click here.
