N.A.P. (Nutrition Awareness Program) was developed by Dining Services for customers of Wake Forest. The program emphasizes the link between good food and good nutrition. It promotes healthy eating habits, good lifestyle practices, good food choices, and provides information on options in Dining Services. N.A.P. program consists of table displays, cooking demonstrations, sample plates, lectures, newsletters, and tours of the dining facilities.

Objectives

  • Help promote the image of the Dining program
  • Promote healthy eating in all dining service locations by displaying a healthy meal selection of the day with general nutrition labeling. The customer will recognize the healthy option by using a trade mark unique to Wake Forest.
  • Collaborate with Wake Forest Departments to help educate and provide a "less intimidating way" to have questions and concerns answered.
  • Communicate with Dining Customers via web site and e-mail about Dining Services Nutrition Program and other related concerns or comments.
