scale and measuring tape

The University of Georgia Student Dietetic Association is an organization run by students in the Department of Foods and Nutrition majoring in Dietetics. Our goal to serve the college, community, and each other is met by involving as many dietetics students as possible to promote a message of health, good nutrition, and exercise. We participate in various service projects such as preparing meals for local homeless shelters and helping out with local run/walks such as Relay for Life. We also raise money for Share Our Strength, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America, and for Cookies for Kids, an organization that supports children's cancer research.  Ours club hosts various speakers from around the state who inform us about internship programs, job options in the field of dietetics, and even eating healthy. Though our organization stays very busy and works very hard to accomplish our goals, we also have lots of fun spending time together and making memories to last a lifetime.

Why should I be involved?

  • to learn about the field of dietetics and mandatory internships
  • to meet and build relationships with other nutrition majors
  • to build your resume by being involved and active
