USJ的机会

学生威尼斯人赌场研究和创造性活动中心为学生提供资源，帮助他们了解圣约瑟夫大学存在的威尼斯人赌场研究和体验式学习机会。这种支持通过多种方式提供：

An innovative collaboration between USJ’s department of Nutrition and the O’Connell Athletic Center has created a mutually beneficial opportunity for Nutrition and Dietetics students and student athletes.

运动员营养建议项目是由营养和公共健康助理教授梅丽莎·布朗博士创建的，该项目帮助学生运动员通过最佳的燃料和水合作用来提高他们的表现。该计划包括从一般运动营养到受伤恢复饮食等主题的全长和微型演讲。对于许多学生运动员来说，这些演讲标志着他们第一次接触到适当的运动营养信息。

“It’s helpful to know what I can do, what I can’t do, and just get knowledge that you don’t have on a normal, daily basis,” said soccer player Abigail Horner ’21. “这对运动员、运动队和成功来说绝对是至关重要的，尤其是在大学阶段。”

演示证明对USJ营养学的学生也有好处，他们也展示了这些信息。来自本科生和威尼斯人赌场研究生营养学实习项目的学生都可以参与并获得评估、监督和教育运动员的实践经验。

For students like Kaneen Gomez-Hixson ’17, a dietetic intern, the 运动员营养咨询计划 helps her develop the skills integral to her future career. As a two-time Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Runner of the Year while earning her bachelor’s degree at USJ, Gomez-Hixson is no stranger to the importance of performance nutrition.

“Getting to implement my passion for performance nutrition during my dietetic internship has been a rare and wonderful opportunity – especially since I get to work within an athletic department that was a huge part of my undergraduate life,” she stated. “Having this type of program is almost unheard of during most dietetic internships and, since I see performance nutrition in my future career as a registered dietitian, it has helped me gain the experience I need to be successful.”

去年夏末，人们对圣约瑟夫大学的学生返校抱有前所未有的期待。在本学期的第一个星期六早上，我和其他几位管理员一起从一个教室走到另一个教室，检查我们新的HyFlex教学模式所需的技术是否正常工作。 I was assigned to the Bruyette Athenaeum where Drawing I would meet– one of the very first classes to bring students and faculty face-to-face (with additional students “remoting in” via Microsoft Teams) after the COVID-19 campus closure in March.

It was a tremendous joy to see students and a new faculty colleague, 尤利娅•Tikhonova meeting each other for the first time and then moving outside to work on drawings. 第一幅画以及艾莉·埃利亚（Allie Elia）教授的水彩画课程，让学生们有机会表达他们对大流行造成的现实与他们对新冠肺炎之后的地方和时代的看法之间的鲜明对比的感受。现实是显而易见的，画上有面具，还有一张特朗普总统签署的600美元支票，大概是一张CARES救济支票。不安全感就在那里——独自坐在长凳上，眼睛几乎从面具后面往外看。然而，许多照片传达了大学生令人安心的乐观和信心，因为他们想象着COVID后的生活，有事业，去新的地方旅行，享受大自然的祝福。

我欢迎你们分享这些圣约瑟夫大学学生的观点、见解和情感，他们都不是艺术专业的学生，但他们都在学习艺术如何能够而且应该成为我们生活的一部分，无论我们的职业是什么。非常感谢Tikhonova教授和Elia教授，他们为如何在COVID期间安全地教授，学习和创作艺术树立了榜样，并感谢学生们分享他们的工作。
