ACEND® has begun to identify Noteworthy Nutrition and Dietetics Education Practices on the topic of diversity, equity and inclusion among ACEND®-accredited programs. We would like to highlight programs for their DEI noteworthy practices on the ACEND® website.
Noteworthy practices in the following DEI topic areas are requested:
Program directors or other individuals associated with an ACEND®-accredited program are asked to complete the submission form of their DEI noteworthy practice and email it to ACEND® for review. Submissions will be reviewed by an ACEND® Board review team and selected entries will be posted.
Email completed submission forms to ACEND@eatright.org with the subject line: DEI Noteworthy Practice Submission.
