TSU SNAP-Ed also developed a Diversity Database to increase the number and availability of images demonstrating diverse populations engaging in healthy eating and physical activities. The program’s diversity outreach strategy utilizes a variety of options to teach nutrition education to SNAP-Ed participants.
The TSU SNAP-Ed team is a grassroots network of local university staff, faculty, and students in the state to reach underserved and lowincome populations. The team was part of the National SNAP-Ed 30th Anniversary Webinar Series that featured regional highlights and agency presentations on program initiatives and achievements.
