Learning beyond the classroom
...
I am firmly convinced that our students learn from participating in, and reflecting upon, learning experiences beyond the classroom. This summer I looked back through the citizenship assignments students submitted for my courses this past year. I found evidence that these learning activities helped students engage as citizens of our country and world, and as members of a profession. I found that some students were able to apply or recognize what they learned to phenomena around them. I found that students were inspired to seek out further information, or read a book, based on what they learned from a guest lecture or exhibit (see page 2read this article).
Many students attended the Ann Litt ’75 Distinguished Speaker Series, given this year by Katy Meassick G’10, the performance dietitian for the Cleveland Browns.: “Katy Meassick was one of the most influential speakers I’ve seen here at Syracuse.” “Her talk showed me the wide range of responsibilities that a dietitian can have as well as where it can take you.” “Katy told us about the Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association (C.P.S.D.A. ) and recommended their website, sportsrd.com for more information.”

Our transition to F.E.M., which will take place after 2020, has many notable benefits for students and our programs (see page 6read this article). The shift in emphasis from hours of supervised practice to the mastering of core competencies supports a learning model based on each student’s individual skills and abilities. Our early adoption as a F.E.M. demonstration program is another illustration of Nutrition at Syracuse’s reputation as an innovator and leader in educating the next generation of nutrition and dietetics professionals. I’d like to thank each and every nutrition faculty and staff member for their thoughtful study of the Future Education Model. Their commitment to our students, and to Falk College, is evident, and greatly appreciated.

From a student who attended the Falk College session with Mona Hanna-Attisha (see page 4read this article) about lead contamination of the water supply in Flint, MI: “It would seem that something so dangerous would not be allowed to happen in the U.S. due to all the regulations and government agencies that are involved in public safety and health. You always need to be asking questions.”

From a student who attended the Trevor Noah lecture, part of the annual Martin Luther King celebration at Syracuse University: “What struck me most was Noah’s explanation that humor is how he chooses to process the world he lives in despite the hardships he endured in his childhood in South Africa. The idea of handling the world in a positive way was my takeaway from this event.”
