Thousands of nutrition and public health professionals across the globe have expanded their skills and knowledge base thanks to free or low-cost, online continuing education courses developed by faculty in the Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS).
Two separate courses – one about infant and young child feeding for a global audience, and another about policy, systems and environmental (PSE) approaches to improving nutrition in the U.S. – address critical topics including undernutrition, maternal and child health, and childhood obesity.
“These online courses are an efficient and effective way to deliver training,” said Christina Stark, a retired senior extension associate in DNS who had a key role in the development of both courses. “The goal has always been to provide nutrition practitioners with the knowledge and skills they need to build their capacity to work with the public.”

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas For 50 years, the Week of the Young Child has been recognized in our nation as a way to meet the needs of children. As a part of that, our local Success By 6 Coalition wants to help children ‘Spring into Reading’ this weekend.
Those who study such things tell us that the first five years of a child’s life are critical for learning. During this window, the brain develops faster than at any other time, as children learn to think, speak and reason. It is also the best time to expose them to books, and to help the youngest of our community engage in the world of literacy.

Over the last year, child care workers jobs have become increasingly demanding and complex, yet many programs continue to compensate their teaching staff at minimum wage. If we are going to categorize child care professionals as essential, we need to compensate them as such, says Meghan Tavormina, president of the New Jersey Association for the Education of Young Children.

This week, April 10-16, marks the Week of the Young Child, a national celebration highlighting our incredible early education professionals. Through the pandemic, child care staff has persevered to nurture and educate children in the Garden State.
