Abstract
OXFORD, Miss. - Students studying dietetics at the University of Mississippi got hands-on experience and influenced the lives of some high school students in late November thanks to a $7,500 grant from the Mississippi chapter of the March of Dimes. The "New Futures" program, administered at South Panola High School in Batesville, focused on educating students about the dangers of poor nutrition during pregnancy, the risk factors of premature labor and the importance of learning how to set goals to continue their education, said Teresa Carithers, chair of the Department of Family and Consumer Science and principal investigator for the grant.
