Nutrition students co-lead international workshop on foraging, healing and nutrition
Nutrition graduate student Caroline Duncan and Honors students Elizabeth Thompson and Camryn Lau co-led a four-hour pre-conference workshop at the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior international conference on July 8, 2025. This marked the second year the students have presented at the conference.
Their session, titled Food Foraging and Cooking Improvisations: Nourishments and Healing for Us and the Planet, integrated trauma-informed care and offered attendees hands-on experiences in foraging, culinary improvisation, and reflective storytelling. The interactive workshop aimed to deepen understanding of the connections between human and environmental health, nourishment and healing.
Congratulations to Caroline, Elizabeth and Camryn for their outstanding teamwork and passion for community-based, applied nutrition education!
