Newsworthy: New Student Club Represents Vegans on Campus

The number of people following vegetarian’s diet is increasing and according to the statistics released, 33 percent of Americans eat less meat than they did seven years ago. While the university offers a few vegetarian-dining options, finding highly nutritious vegetarian and vegan meals can be challenging. This spring semester, freshman dietetics and nutrition major, Stephanie Bird took it upon herself to change this by founding a plant based society at FIU. Bird’s mission is to help people understand that it is easy to keep a plant-based diet on a college budget, using examples like finding premium fruits and vegetables at the local farmers market. The club has already more than 100 members.

A Peruvian Experience Trip to Peru Dr. Huffman was invited by the University of San Ignacio De Loyola of Lima Peru to kick off the week of events leading to the World’s Largest Quinoa Salad for Guinness world record. She was accompanied by one of Dietetics and Nutrition BS students Maria Bustamante. In her two day trip Dr. Huffman participated in a press conference, visited Nutrition Department and consulted with the University officials about collaborations in the future. Dr. Huffman was hosted by the Universities President Dr. Salas – Bravo and Founding President Raul Diez Canseco.

The Largest Bowl of Quinoa On Wednesday the twenty-eighth of October at 12 in the afternoon Florida International University broke Guinness World Records record!! The event was held in Florida International University Modesto Maidique Campus, also had the support of Peruvian consul in Miami, Cesar Bustamante and some other local authorities. A team of six food industry engineers, three chefs from Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola (USIL), and several cooking students from Peru, Panama, El Salvador, among other countries were participated. The Peruvian Chef, Rosa Polo led the team. The challenge was to cook 500 Kilos of Quinoa, but the team managed to prepare 716.35 kilos of Quinoa salad.

We can't have any ingredient prepared beforehand, so the process of creation and cooking is a continuous process.” At the end, the guests enjoyed the Quinoa salad and the rest was distributed among two charities in Miami-Dade County.

Student Spotlight: Maria Bustamante was the initial contact between D&N and USIL. She initiated the ideas to raise interest in quinoa, which has a very favorable nutritional profile due to its high protein and fiber content. C,b%!&@%*!&!>$)%&,/@$!5**7 and can be prepared in!many ways. An attempt!for Guinness World!Record event at FIU bring attention to quinoa was initiated. D&N gave full support for the project. Dietetics and Nutrition Department of the Robert Stempel College, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola in Peru and its Miami outpost, San Ignacio College; the local Peruvian Consulate; and the Frost Art Museum at FIU all played a part in achieving the single platter of quinoa salad that weighed in at more than 1,300 lbs. We now have a Guinness World Record at FIU shared with USIL!

Virginia Alcalde Virginia was awarded a full scholarship by the Binge Eating Disorder Association BEDA to attend their annual conference in the fall of 2015. Virginia through her combined knowledge of healing arts and integrative medicine has volunteered at Camillus House teaching yoga to homeless women and at Cleveland Clinic. Virginia has been an advocate and faithful practitioner of Yoga as a means of self-study and spiritual connection. In 2013, Virginia finished her first 300-hour training with Gaia Buddhai at Synergy Yoga Studio, and later that year she completed 200-hour training with founders of Skanda Yoga, Ken Von Roenn and Lina Vallejo, who continue to be her mentors. She also studied other fields of spirituality and healing arts like Vipassana meditation, aromatherapy, Thai Massage and energetic work. Since 2013 she has been teaching Yoga and meditation in Miami-Dade and Broward County. Virginia is currently pursuing a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition at Florida International University.

Camila Pin Each year a group of enthusiastic and responsible FIU students are selected to become Orientation Peer Advisors. These special students are trained to assist with all new student orientation programs throughout the year as well as other programs for new students and their families. In this capacity, they serve as resources for new students and their parents, they assist FIU staff with planning and implementation of the programs, and they are viewed as student leaders among the University community. This year Camila was truly instrumental in the success of the DN new student orientation presentation. As the only DN Orientation Peer Advisor, she provided guidance and insight to the newly admitted DN students on what to expect during their first year at FIU. Her willingness to go above and beyond her voluntary duties demonstrated true Panther Pride. We commend Camila on a job well done!

Notable The Five FIU Dietetic Interns at the Miami VA Healthcare System

The five FIU Dietetic Interns at the Miami VA Healthcare System: Ana Alfonso, Amy Faulkner, Veronica Garcia, Jessica Moya, and Marisa Stack were given the assignment of being in charge of the 2015 Feds Feed Families Food Drive by the Medical Center Director, Paul M. Russo, MHSA, FACHE, RD. All four previous years that the campaign took place at the Miami VA, there were goals of 2,000 pounds of non-perishable goods. For 2015, Mr. Russo, with high expectations from the dietetic interns, decided to up the goal to 8,000 pounds. The food pantry chosen by the dietetic interns was American Veteran Newspaper Inc., which primarily supports homeless and food insecure Veterans in South Florida. The interns took on the food drive with determination, passion, and fresh eyes on the possibilities of what the campaign could entail. The final amount of poundage collected and donated was 24,500 ?*467%0!`R^e!*5!,-$!'*&@2!=-$)$!D&%!+*)$!c3&@@!*5 (&+$)%d!;/67/>/74&@%!D-*!7*6&,$7!KJR!@B%!*)!&B*>$<!,-/%!H$&) than any previous year, and the interns received countless complements on how unique the campaign was from previous years. There was a sense of pride and morale from the staff at the Miami VA throughout the entire food drive. This led to the hospital coming in 3rd place in the Nation, and 1st place the VISN for pounds donated. On October 22nd, Mr. Russo recognized and awarded the Dietetic Interns at the monthly Town Hall Meeting 5*)!,-$!#$7/9&@!.$6,$)2!=-$!9$),/5/9&,$!*5!&??)$9/&,/*6!)$&7\!cC6 recognition and appreciation of your personal commitment and dedication to the success of the Miami VA Healthcare System Feds ($$7!(&+/@/$%!KR"J!.&+?&/'62d!=-$!@$'&9H!,-&,!,-$!/6,$)6%!@$&>$ behind at the Miami VA is that of integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect and excellence, the true ICARE core values of the Veterans Affairs.

Fundraising for World Health Dan Mucerino an undergraduate dietetic and nutrition student hosted a fundraiser where 100% of the money benefited Global WATER Brigades Nicaragua due to his passion and nutrition commitment. This event was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, FL on Friday, November 13, 2015. Global Brigades is the largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. This project not only raised money for Nicaragua but also brought awareness about the world water crisis. !
