Baton
Rouge, LA – The SU Ag Center, in conjunction with the LSU AgCenter, convened at
the Pennington Biomedical Research Center from July 12-14, 2016 for the Coordinated
Approach To Child Health (CATCH) curriculum training.
The
CATCH curriculum is an evidence based, coordinated approach to children's
health. Over 90 faculty and staff representing signature nutrition programs
gathered to learn and adapt the new curriculum. The programs present included: the
Families First Nutrition Education and Wellness Systems (FF-NEWS), Expanded
Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program Education (SNAP-ED) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Healthy
Communities Program (HCP).
During the training, agents and nutrition educators from across the state were recognized for outstanding achievement in their respective programs. SU Ag Center nutrition educators Marquetta L. Anderson, Camellia Brown and Kiyana E. Kelly received awards for Outstanding Nutrition Educators. Award recipients were selected based on clientele diversity, creativity and the number of participant groups. SU Ag Center’s Salette Tennie also received special recognition for her tireless work with the EFNEP program.
While at the training, staff from both universities had the opportunity to collaborate and exchange best practices. Towards the beginning of the training, SU Ag Center Vice Chancellor of Extension/ LSU AgCenter Associate Vice Chancellor, Dr. Gina E. Eubanks shared, “I'm excited about the ongoing coordinated efforts from SU and LSU’s general nutrition leadership. By working together, we are able to make the strongest impact on Louisiana's health status.”
