Dawn Wilcox - Nutrition Education

Hi Everyone! As Nutrition educator I would like to increase the knowledge of Nutrition here at EIU while clearing up myths in the field of nutrition. Please come in and meet with me anytime for a one-on-one nutritional analysis, to sign up for Biggest Loser or Healthy Cooking 101, to request a presentation or to just talk Nutrition!

I am currently working on my M.S. in Dietetics at Eastern Illinois University and completed my B.S. in Dietetics from Michigan State University. I have also completed a B.A. in Commercial Recreation and Business Administration. Dietetics is my passion! I hope to teach nutrition education in an outpatient setting, corporate wellness, or even at a University in the future.

Prior experiences include coordinating after-school nutrition programs for Michigan State University Extension, serving as a dietetics undergraduate teaching assistant, teaching youth 4-H classes in Nutrition, serving as a state 4-H Judge, volunteering in Clinical Nutrition at a local hospital and assisted living facility, and raising over $15,000 for a preventative blood test for Ovarian Cancer.
