What is “Nourish to Serve”?

Nourish to Serve is a month-long celebration of the many ways the University of North Dakota Nutrition & Dietetics community applies the principles of Food as Medicine to promote health, food security, education, and well-being. Whether you’re an alum mentoring future professionals, a student volunteering in the community, or a preceptor shaping hands-on learning, you are nourishing communities through service and the power of nutrition.

This March, the Nutrition & Dietetics department invites you to share how you “Nourish to Serve.” Your stories highlight the impact of the UND network across the state, region, and world, demonstrating how Food as Medicine drives positive change.

One lucky participant will be drawn to receive an N&D Department Swag Basket, filled with items every dietitian will love!

Campaign runs during National Nutrition Month: March 1–31, 2026
Prize drawing: All participants will be entered in a drawing to occur on April 10. Winners will be notified on this webpage and announced on social media.
