Hi my name is Jen Urist and I’m an HDV Fellow! I’m the one all the way on the left. I am in my second year at Stony Brook. I’m a Health Science Major and part of the Health and Nutrition Club.  Along with being a forever fellow, I am also one of the Stony Brook Ice Girls and a Campus Dining Services Nutrition Intern.

I am currently studying away at Queens College for a Semester through Stony Brook’s National Student Exchange Program.  You can learn more about this at www.stonybrook.edu/nse or www.nse.org

I think Sophomore year is the perfect time to start applying yourself on campus and in the professional world. Don’t be afraid to reach out to professors, advisors or peers about opportunities that interest you and can benefit your future. Trying out different things is a great way to determine what your true interests are and gain real world experience.
