About Us

2015/2016 UCA Dietetic Interns 

We are 12 certified organic, mostly locally grown free-range spirits, who were home-made with heaping cups of heart, a spoonful of sugar, dash of hard work, pinch of creativity, sprinkled with humor, mixed with southern and midwestern flavors, and heavily dusted with perfectionist tendencies. 

We are also health warriors, fighting in the battle against obesity, diabetes, and other health issues, armed with evidence-based knowledge; we are our own guinea pigs, practicing feats such as placing feeding tubes in our noses so as to build empathy for our future patients and clients; we are magicians, whipping up presentations overnight to help educate our fellow nutrition majors; we are explorers, discovering community members involved in the food process, learning from local farmers and befriending cattle; we are investigators on a mission to seek out the truth and best practices, doing so through research analysis; we are hungry to learn about all things nutrition and wellness with an insatiable curiosity. More than anything, though, we are you, members of a community and change-agents in our own right. We are the future. 

We are the University of Central Arkansas Dietetic Interns. 

And we invite you to join us in the fight to reclaim healthier lifestyles. 

Oh, and GO BEARS!
