| College often heralds significant changes for students, some of which last far beyond graduation day. Certainly, health and lifestyle choices are among the changes for young women. That’s why the National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health at the IU School of Medicine and the Council for Women’s Nutrition Solutions (CWNS) are co-sponsoring a free seminar, Everyday Health and Nutrition Solutions for the College Years, Thursday (Sept. 26). The seminar is from 3- 5 p.m. and will be held in the Ruth Lilly Auditorium at the Riley Outpatient Clinic.
CWNS members will share research findings on some of the most common health problems facing women, including weight gain, fad dieting, poor eating habits and lack of physical activity. Health-care professionals can use such information when communicating with college women.
Seminar speakers:
Jeanne Goldberg, director of the Tufts University Center on Nutrition Communications; Dr. Michelle Warren, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University and the medical director of the Center for Menopause, Hormonal Disorders and Women’s Health at Sloane Hospital for Women at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center; and Roseanne Lyle, associate professor of health promotion at Purdue University.
