Every semester the SDA hosts grocery store tours in which volunteers share tips and useful nutrition information for those interested in making wiser decisions at the supermarket.

Let's Talk Nutrition​
Let’s Talk Nutrition (LTN) is a student led initiative aimed at bringing Florida International University’s very own nutrition majors to the rest of campus. Nutrition majors are partnered with on-campus organizations, such as Residential Life, to give presentations to FIU students.
​
LTN presenters work with the host organization to present topics that are both engaging and educational. The Nutrition volunteers are given free reign in how they wish to present to their audience and walk away with valuable experience in community nutrition, nutrition education, and public speaking & engagement.
