Week 1

Hello, my name is Yushan Han, I’m Dot’s new intern. I am originally from Xi’an, China where you can find the Terracotta Warriors (look it up if you never heard about it, it’s cool). I came to OU in 2011 to pursue my bachelor degree in Health and Exercise Science. During my undergrad, I figured out that I want to become a Registered Dietitian one day because I love food and helping others. And then I was fortunate enough to get into the M.A in Dietetics program at OUHSC. It is great to be back on this campus! I have deep feelings for this campus because this is where I lived and met many amazing people when I first came to the US. Many people helped me when I first moved into Couch and a lot of them are H&F staff. Today, I am so glad that I can be part of the H&F and serve others.

In this first week, I have already learned so much. On the first day, I helped with the Presidential catering in the Union. It was fully staffed (the whole department was there, I guess) and very organized from my point of view. I would like to learn more about catering running and planning in the future. Then I spend the rest of the afternoon with Fran. Fran taught me how to calculate the quantity of a recipe. The next couple days I worked on making display boards for “Meatless Monday”, which will be put on display in Cate and Couch on Monday, April 9. Thursday was the BEST day of the week, I am grateful for the opportunity to attend the manager’s meeting. And thank you all for introducing yourself one by one, I felt very welcomed to this team. I’m very excited that I will be working on recipe development for Health Fair (Staff Week) this week, and I am thinking something refreshing for people to try! And I’m open to any suggestions and ideas, you can leave a comment or come find me in the office next to Dot’s.
