School of Communication Studies doctoral student, Lindsey Myers, has earned a mini-grant from the ¾ÛÉ«¸ó of Wellness committee to help aid the launch of her nutrition awareness and healthy eating campaign on the ¾ÛÉ«¸ó Ashtabula campus. Myers will receive her mini-grant worth $1,000 in January 2017 and will use the funds to purchase brochures on healthy eating topics, t-shirts and door prizes for several healthy eating workshops.
Myers designed this campaign as part of her doctoral work with help from School of Communication Studies’ assistant professor, Catherine Goodall, Ph.D. This fall, Myers conducted focus groups and surveys on the Ashtabula campus to assess nutritional concerns students may have. The results will help guide her campaign, which will launch in the spring. The campaign consists of healthy eating messages displayed around campus, three healthy eating workshops and informational materials.
