General Description:

In this role, you will work closely with the Chartwells Campus Dietitian to plan, execute, and promote the dining services at The University of Pittsburgh.

You will serve as an extension of the Campus Dietitian, working with both dining and campus partners, to promote awareness of available on-campus dining offerings and wellness resources with the goal of creating a more informed, engaged, and inclusive campus dining community.

This internship should not be confused in any way with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics pre-professional internship requirement. This internship does not replace an accredited internship program.

• Develop nutrition education materials that are culturally and age appropriate and designed for the literacy level of the audience.

• Develop and deliver products, programs, or services that promote consumer health, wellness, and lifestyle management.

• Develop and evaluate recipes, formulas and menus for acceptability and affordability that accommodate the cultural diversity and the health needs of various populations, groups, and individuals. 

Because this position requires you to perform services in an educational facility, there may be periods when the Company does not require you to perform work (such as winter and summer breaks when food service needs decline or cease). Any such periods during which you do not perform work on the Company’s behalf may be unpaid and deemed a temporary layoff. However, depending on business needs, you may be required to work year-round, potentially at a different location during break periods.  Business needs may vary from year to year.
