The Nutritional Sciences undergraduate seminar (NUTR 490) has space available for AUT 2014. The theme for autumn is Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security. For students pursuing the minor in Nutritional Sciences, this 1-credit course is required and is now offered both AUT and WIN quarters to help students meet that requirement. The seminar is also open to all UW faculty, staff, and students, so if there’s a topic you’re interested in, we hope you’ll join us!
