BIO 204
Biochemical Nutrition Class

enjoyed a dinner in Meade Hall on June 17, 2004, which featured delicious, nutritious food.
 
The students participated through an online discussion board in the course running in Ucompass Educator, our Judson CMS, to coordinate selecting recipes, shopping, and preparing and serving the items at the dinner. Caroline Rankin served as chairman, responsible for the overall planning, and assisted the other students in selecting nutritious, low-fat, low-calorie recipes. She was also responsible for preparing for and hosting the event .  
     
Thanks to all of our guests who attended the dinner and served as our "laboratory test subjects" for this course!
