Hello All, I hope all is going well for you in your research placement. I wanted to let you know, before it is announced to the department, that I have applied and have been offered an interview for the position of MAHN Instructor. I will be delivering a teaching demonstration on June 27 at 10:00am and I will be meeting with FHNS Graduate Students on June 28th. As FHNS graduate students, you are encouraged to attend these sessions and because they are dietetic related your attendance will count toward practicum hours. I also, encourage you to attend the demonstration and meetings for the other applicants. At this point, I am only interviewing for the position, and it does not necessarily mean I will be the successful candidate or that I will be moving positions. I hope this announcement does not cause you any stress, I remain committed to my role as MAHN Coordinator, and it has been a pleasure serving you in the role over the past year.
