Last week, we had the opportunity to connect with students at Texas A&M University to share more about our upcoming study away course, Nutrition and Food Environment of the American Southwest.
This course is designed to take learning beyond the classroom—giving students the opportunity to experience firsthand how food systems and environment shape nutrition and health. From visiting farms and food enterprises, gaining insight into agribusiness operations, to engaging with local communities, students will gain a deeper understanding of the real-world factors that influence what we eat and how we live.
Experiential learning opportunities like this are critical in helping students to see the bigger picture, build meaningful connections, and apply their knowledge in ways that will prepare them professionally.
