Advising, Tutoring, and Mentoring

The Department of Nutrition offers a variety of student services to enhance your MSU Denver educational experience including advising, tutoring and mentoring.

If you are a prospective student looking for information on how to apply to one of our programs, we recommend scheduling an advising session with our Admissions Coordinator.

If you are a current student looking to review your Degree Progress Report or register for classes, we recommend scheduling an advising session with our Advising and Retention Coordinator.

We also have Faculty Advisors that can work with you one-on-one to discuss your career goals, review your resume, cover letter and provide reference support, if appropriate.

Advisees are encouraged to meet with our Advising and Retention Coordinator and a Faculty Advisor once a semester. Advising appointments can be scheduled for 30 to 60 minutes. To schedule, please call the Department of Nutrition at 303-615-0990 or email us at [email protected].

Welcome to MSU Denver’s Nutrition Department Mentor Program. Our mentorship program was created by the former Post-Baccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (POHA) grant, the driving force behind developing a program that will serve our future registered dietitians. The POHA grant enabled our department to establish strategic partnerships and remove potential barriers to pursuing a career in Nutrition and Dietetics. As the department continues the mentorship program, we hope to provide undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to be paired with a registered dietitian or nutrition professional in the field. The mentorship program will provide networking skills, leadership skills, establish clear and concise goals towards their career, building confidence, and learning different pathways in nutrition.

This mentorship program will have two designated pathways and will last six months or a semester.

Emails will be sent out and flyers in the newsletter will be posted advertising for new mentees.  Students will be selected on a first come first serve basis and will be notified via email about the selection process. The program coordinator will do its best to match students with appropriate mentors according to their preference, however, it is not guaranteed. Additionally, if students are matched with a mentor they did not select or choose, its suggested to stay with the mentor to learn something new from a person or mentor you may have not chosen.

Both pathways will require the completion of a meeting log to document the hours mentees spend with their mentor, however, it is not required. Mentors will have monthly check-ins with the program coordinators to answer any questions or concerns that may arise.
