UAF's Rural Nutrition Services (degree no longer offered) students enjoyed a meal featuring healthy Alaska Native traditional foods, kicking off a week of student cooking demonstrations February 6 at the Harper Building. UAF's Reindeer Research Project participated by contributing meat to the dinner.

Rural Nutrition Services is a culturally relevant multidisciplinary course of study that combines nutrition science,  Alaska Native knowledge, behavioral health and outreach skills. Courses are taught by teaching teams that include licensed professionals, Alaska Native service providers, Alaska Native elders and guest speakers in a blended-delivery style allowing students to learn, earn university credits, and not have to move from their home community.
