This year we would like to nominate Utah’s amazing educators for the Outstanding Dietetics Educator Award.

The purpose of this award is to recognize the teaching, mentoring, and leadership activities of faculty in ACEND-accredited dietetics education programs. This award is a little different from our other awards because the nominees are presented to a regional director and the awardees are selected from multiple states. For this reason, this award has an earlier deadline for submissions. A request for nominations for the other award will be sent out early next year.

Please consider nominating a local educator for this award. One educator can be selected from each of the four program types: Coordinated Program in Dietetics, Dietetic Internship, Didactic Program in Dietetics, and Dietetic Technician Program.

To nominate an educator, please submit a 2015 Outstanding Dietetics Educator Award Data Sheet (downloaded from eatright.org at http://www.eatright.org/Members/content.aspx?id=4294967327), along with an application cover letter, resume, and at least 3 letters of reference by December 1, 2014. These may be submitted electronically to elanders07 (at) gmail (dot) com (preferred), or physically mailed to UAND Scholarships and Awards Chair Erika Bellon, 4689 W Helenic Ln, West Jordan, UT 84088.

For any questions, feel free to email. Thank you for helping us get our Utah educators recognized.
