Bastyr University Well Represented in "School the Chef" Event

Eating right, trying new foods and changing the way school lunches look and taste. That was all on the menu at the "School the Chef" event Saturday, May 12, 2012 at Seattle Center.

The afternoon showcased results of a two-year federal-grant-funded program to rethink the school lunch program in Seattle Public Schools. It included a cooking competition featuring local celebrity chefs coaching teams of children tasked with creating a healthy and affordable school lunch (see attached photos).

Bastyr University was well represented, with nutrition and culinary arts student Rachel Davies serving as an assistant chef and Assistant Professor Cynthia Lair, BA, CHN, as a guest judge.

May 18 Continuing Ed

Horses bring a unique energy, joy and playful nature to their interactions with humans as well as with each other. Observing their social behaviors helps us to discover and develop mindfulness, better communication skills and social sensitivity. This workshop is designed to help healthcare practitioners and students develop an awareness of the subtleties of self-presentation and communication which are necessary for a positive provider-patient relationship. Our interpersonal skills, as much as the factual clinical information, influence the quality and effectiveness of these relationships.
Instructors: Beth Avolio, PhD, Jana Sopher, MA, LMHCA, Nona Henderson, BS,
Samantha Heath-Lange, BS
