They also gain invaluable experience and exposure to the day-to-day duties of a collegiate sports dietitian. Students participate in a weekly 50-minute discussion that is held by two sports nutrition dietitians, and complete 9 hours per week hands on activities at Gossett Football Team House, Xfinity Center, and Varsity Team House.
