    Hi everyone. Welcome to this month's department Education.

  • 00:04 - 00:07

    This is a special month because March is national nutrition month.

  • 00:07 - 00:10

    This celebration was started by the Academy of nutrition and Dietetics to

  • 00:10 - 00:13

    advocate for nutrition education and promote

  • 00:13 - 00:15

    beneficial eating choices and behaviors.

    of being on the track and field team for six years competing as a heptathlete.

  • 00:43 - 00:46

    So I now have had experience on both sides of performance

  • 00:46 - 00:49

    nutrition behind the scenes with the staff and as an athlete.

  • 00:49 - 00:51

    And I'm looking forward to breaking down our

  • 00:51 - 00:54

    definition of performance nutrition here at Penn State.

  • 00:55 - 00:59
