Nutrition & Wellness
Recreation Services and the NIU School of Family, Consumer, and Nutrition Sciences work together to provide graduate-level dietetic interns to assist in providing nutrition education. Nutrition services are available, free of charge, for students and for a nominal fee for non-student members to assist with understanding personal nutritional needs and how to make smart food choices.
One-on-one sessions are private coaching sessions that may include follow-up meetings or referrals. Clients are asked to complete a Client Assessment Questionnaire and 3-Day Food Log prior to their initial appointment.
