FranU’s dietetic students led an awesome presentation at Summer Camp at FranU, helping teens debunk nutrition myths vs. facts from social media. No more TikTok confusion, just real talk and science based knowledge!
Shoutout to our future dietitians for inspiring the next generation! 💙🐺☀️

We invite you to join us in supporting FranU’s food pantry!

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. ❤️

FranU’s food pantry helps support students in our community by providing access to essential food and resources. Your donation can help ensure that no student has to choose between their education and a meal.

We invite you to join us in caring for others through generosity and service. If you would like to support the pantry, financial donations can be made at franu.edu/giving/make-a-gift by selecting “Student Food Pantry” as the designation. Food and personal item donations may be dropped off in the Student Affairs Suite on the second floor of St. Francis Hall, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. ❤️

Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day! 🥼🥑
We appreciate all of our preceptors, instructors, and RDNs everywhere who commit to educating the new generations of dietitians. We are especially grateful to Dr. Fakier and Mrs. Serio for all that they do for our class and for showing us what it means to be an excellent RDN. 💙🍏🥦🥕
