PHN students present Integrative Learning Experiences

Fifteen students presented their ILEs at the annual event

 

On February 5th, fifteen students presented their ILEs at the annual PHN Soiree. The ILE, or Integrative Learning Experience, is a requirement of the MPH program and represents months of rigorous work in a food or nutrition-related topic.

Dozens of family members, friends, mentors, staff and community members came out to support these students’ work and to learn more about pressing nutrition issues facing us today. Here are the titles of each student’s ILE presentation:

  • Katie Berns: Relationship between food retail environment and fruit and vegetables served by California childcare centers and homes
  • Esther Park: Got Chocolate Milk? An Analysis of the Effects of a Chocolate Milk Elimination Policy on Milk Consumption in SFUSD Middle and High Schools

  • Kelsey Long: Understanding the Experience of Summer Food Insecurity to Unpack the Needs of Adolescents in San Francisco
  • Leah Walton: Food Insecurity and Body Dissatisfaction Among University of California Students: A Cross-Sectional Data Analysis
