Healthy Dining Workshop

Join Registered Dietitians Sue Grace, Colleen Surek, and Mary Anne McQuay to learn important tactics on how to eat healthy when dining out.  Strategies for navigating your way through restaurant menus to find healthy choices will be a focus of the session, as well as how you can apply what you learn to the RIT campus.

Stress Management Seminar

Everyone has stress in their lives so it is important to have the right tools to manage it. Stress from any source can place a strain on the body and contribute to disease. However it is not the feelings of stress that create the problem itself. Stress becomes a problem when you reach a point where you feel you are unable to cope. Awareness of your stress is the first step in finding a solution. The second step involves learning how to deal with it before you reach a point where you feel that you are unable to cope.
