Nutrition Navigators Testimonials
-
"My mentor is an extremely warm and welcoming person to approach or reach out to at any time. She is always there for questions or concerns not just about navigating the dining halls with food allergies, but about anything I may have questions about. My mentor makes me feel like I have a friend whenever I need it ever since I met her here at Boston College!"
-
āSometimes the best tips and tricks can come from fellow students who are in the same position as you! I decided to join this program so I could share the various dining hacks I've gained over my years at Boston College. I love the opportunity to help others who are like me.ā
-
"I wanted to be there to help someone because I know I would have loved to have that kind of solidarity when I first started living and eating at college. The program is an amazing initiative that helps students with allergies and dietary restrictions feel less alone during such a major transition in their lives.ā
