Weeks 1 &2 - Victoria Dahan


Hello! My Name is Victoria Dahan and I am a Dietetic Intern from OUHSC working with Dot! I am excited to get the opportunity to work in all of your facilities and learn about what happens at OU Housing and Food Services! 

Week 1:
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Chris and Doug at Dunham this week! I talked to Chris about the different roles that dietitians can have throughout their careers along with the underappreciated nature dietitians have in hospital settings. I just finished up my clinical rotation so I could not agree with this more! I received the grand tour of Duhnam. Dunham was preparing to use both kitchens to designate where foods are being served. I was able to help out during breakfast learning how the students place orders and how the staff is able to cook breakfast to order. I was then moved over to learn how the salad station was run! I learned how to make pasta bakes and I also helped create a sign for the pasta station -- Spaghetti Island!

Week 2: 
Week 2 I was able to help out with sorority recruitment move in! This was interesting to see how OU housing and food service plays a role in ensuring move in is done smoothly. I went to the University of Arkansas and it was mostly a free for all so it was a great to experience how other schools organize move in. 
This week I also helped with Dot’s booth for move in! At this booth we served breakfast foods along with some lunch samples for parents and students to try! All samples were gluten free, vegan, and top 8 allergen free. I had one parent come up with a student who was gluten free and lactose in tolerant and she was so happy that her student got to try a doughnut for the first time!!
On Friday of this week I was fortunate enough to go to couch and begin my first trial of the recipe I am developing! It is going to be a Broccoli Tabbouleh.
