This term during the Nutrition in Health & Exercise course, from the Bachelors in Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology program at the Jacksonville campus, students visited the Jacksonville Farmers Market. The goal of the trip was to experience an alternative to shopping at your popular supermarket chains and to learn more about locally grown fresh produce. The class received a guided tour of the farmers market and saw and tasted some rare fruits and vegetables not commonly available at your local grocery stores. Not only was this an educational experience, it was also an opportunity for the students to purchase some healthy, fresh produce at discounted prices to prepare for themselves and their families.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
