Alumni Connections: Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences, March 2011
This month, I'd like to encourage you to join us for our semi-annual Alumni Advancement Lecture Series on Saturday, April 2 (full event details below and online). Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak will give a campus update, followed by the keynote presentation "The 11th Commandment: Thou Shall Not 'Wing' It" from University of Colorado President Emeritus John Buechner. The event is a great opportunity to build essential career skills - in this case, the tools for persuasion and networking - and to meet fellow graduates from the Front Range. We'll have a free breakfast buffet and optional campus tour as well, so please join us! We hope to see you on campus soon, Jennifer Hane, BA '01, MPA '04 Registered Dietitian Day
Amanda Sullivan, a senior Health Sciences student in the nutrition option at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs contacted Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera and asked him to proclaim March 9 as Registered Dietitian Day for Colorado Springs. Mayor Rivera granted Amanda's request and the signing of the proclamation took place at the Mayor's office. After the "whereas" statements, the bottom of the proclamation states, "I, Lionel Rivera, Mayor of the city of Colorado Springs, do hereby proclaim March 9, 2011 as Registered Dietitian Day in the city of Colorado Springs and encourage all citizens to recognize the contributions of Registered Dietitians and express appreciation for their commitment to promoting science-based nutrition in the hope of achieving optimum health for both today and tomorrow." The above photo shows Amanda Sullivan and Didactic Program in Dietetics Coordinator Kim Schenck with Mayor Rivera at the proclamation signing. Beth-El in the News
