USING SEU DEGREE TO RESTORE HEALTH TO AT-RISK COMMUNITIES Celebrating 30 Years of the Dietetic Internship Program This academic year marks the 30th anniversary of Saint Elizabeth University’s Dietetic Internship program. Launched in 1991 as an Approved PreProfessional Practice Program (AP4), the degree changed its status in 1994 to become known as a dietetic internship. “This was the first postbaccalaureate program for SEU under the vision of the University’s fifth president, Sister Jacqueline Burns,” explains Monica Luby, director of the didactic program in dietetics. “It paved the way for other graduate-level courses and degrees to be offered at Saint E.”

Throughout the last three decades, alumni of SEU’s dietetic internship program have implemented practical skills and theoretical knowledge developed at the University to positively impact their communities. With a strong focus on helping those in need, the dietetic internship program teaches students to be champions of justice in their fields.
