Rural Nutrition Services Program students will display and describe their community-based projects from 2 - 4 p.m., May 9, in the Harper Building. The projects were developed by students to provide community-based nutrition and health outreach to fit their local culture.

RNS is a culturally relevant multidisciplinary course of study that combines nutrition science, Alaska Native knowledge, behavioral health and outreach skills. Courses are taught by teaching teams that include licensed professionals, Alaska Native service providers, Alaska Native elders and guest speakers in a blended delivery style allowing students to learn, earn university credits, and not have to move from their home community.
