ABOUT SDA
The Student Dietetic Association is an organization that increases awareness about the importance of leading healthy lifestyles through proper diet and exercise. We use our knowledge in dietetics and nutrition to teach the FIU community, along with the surrounding community, about healthy eating.
We aspire to evolve SDA into an essential and valuable resource to FIU and to the community through our roles in: leadership, services, and education. Respecting that everyone has different interests, skills, and personalities, we work to combine everyone's abilities to impact community and other like minded groups, while creating lasting relationships.
Who We Are
We have many different events throughout the year to promote and increase awareness of healthy eating. In the past, we have visited elementary schools in the community, such as Coconut Palm, Pinecrest, and Nova Eisenhower. During these visits, we teach children about nutrition, healthy snacks, hydration, and incorporate physical activity.
We also get involved in various health fairs, Baptist Hospital's 5-a-Day, Miami Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (MAND) and Broward Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (BAND) events. Other events include social events that are the perfect opportunities for networking and meeting new people with similar interests.
