HANDS (Health and Nutrition Diversity Scholars) is a special program designed to increase the diversity of students in the field of nutrition. HANDS Scholars will participate in a 1-credit Scholars Seminar each semester, and have access to department and campus-based supports including tutoring, mentorship and career counseling. HANDS Scholars will also participate in nutrition conferences and other special programs for professional development, including workshops, self-assessment programs, research and education opportunities, as well as annual dinners and other events for a small group of committed students.

The Department of Nutrition is seeking to identify qualified and enthusiastic students who wish to participate in the HANDS Scholarship program beginning Spring semester, 2011.
