My name is Lindsay Scott and I am so excited for the opportunity to spend my management rotation with OU Housing and Food. The management rotation is a 9 week experience that is part of an 8 month long dietetic internship with the OU Health Sciences Center. This rotation is my last and I am happy to say that I will graduate from the program in February. Upon completion of the internship, I am qualified to sit the exam to become a Registered Dietitian!
I have been at OU Housing and Food for 5 weeks and have met nothing but smiling, friendly faces. I have had the opportunity to participate in a variety of campus events, including the Local Harvest Fair and Allergy Awareness Month. I have been surprised to learn about all of the resources Housing and Food makes available to the students-it is truly unique. I have spent time on several college campuses and none have shown the same degree of student out-reach and involvement.
During my time here, I will have the opportunity to meet with managers and administrative staff to gain insight into organizational management, menu planning, budgeting, purchasing, staffing, the list goes on!
Additionally, I have a variety of projects to complete. In October, I completed my business plan by planning, organizing, and executing a nutrition education and food demo for students at OU Traditions West. Please try the recipe that I showcased! I love it because it is incredibly easy, makes a ton, and freezes well. Especially appropriate as the weather gets colder, thaw out some soup for a quick meal on a busy night.
Be on the lookout for my next post,
Boomer Sooner!
