Dietetic Program at CCAC

Today was a very successful site visit at the Laurels of Steubenville. Mary, one of CCACs Dietetics students, has the opportunity to complete her foodservice and clinical nutrition rotation with a former alumni, Jamie Maley.
We are delighted to see former students give back by precepting up and coming nutrition professionals!
We are so very proud of both of them!

Today was PA Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Conference!

CCAC’s dietetic technician student, Lori Rupp, won a stipend to attend the event after writing an essay on the benefits of attending the conference.

We are so proud of her and all the other amazing dietetic students at CCAC!

Today, CCAC Dietetics program spent the day at Southmoreland Elementary School with grades 2-5. We incorporated nutrition lessons into their physical education class! We enjoyed talking about every day foods such as broccoli, beans, and cheese and “sometimes” foods such as cookies, pizza, and ice cream. The kids rode scooters, hopped, skipped, and even did gymnastics to burn some calories!

I would like to thank Ms. Rachel Means for collaborating this effort for us to spend the day with her students; Mr. Zachary Malavite for taking us on a tour of their kitchen and allowing us to watch the meal process for the children; Mr. Dan Krofcheck, elementary Principal and Dr. Jason Boone Superintendent for allowing us to spend the day in their amazing school. We hope this is a collaboration that will continue over years to come!
