Back by popular demand! In this online presentation, Courtney Wilson, MScFN RD (she/her) will dive into all things nutrition, menstruation, and hormones. We will look at how the phases of the menstrual cycle can impact physical symptoms, intake patterns, and nutrient needs and chat about strategies to support these needs. There will be time for a Q&A to ensure all your burning questions are answered!

Join the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism for an afternoon of snacks, socializing and fun activities. This event is open to all students and aims to introduce people to our office and what we do on campus. This event features desserts from the local bakery and Waterloo graduate Lenjo Bakes so be sure to stop by for tasty snacks!
