The coordination with food service, SGA, athletics, academics, HR, Student  Affairs and the rest, is SO heartening, because this is exactly what we need to  do to provide a real change; a real improvement in the culture of health.  <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span>For the rest of the  day, I&#8217;m meeting w the IRB (to be able to publish our results as research), then  Food Service, then a local radio interview, then SGA. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal\"  align=left><span  style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\">______________________<br  style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\"><br  style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =  \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal\"><span  style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"><a href=\"mailto:info@willclower.com?subject=Health%20Coaching%20Enquiry\"><b  style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><span style=\"COLOR: red\">One-on-One Health  Coaching Now Available:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"COLOR: red\"> Categories include  Diabetes, Weight control, Cholesterol reduction.
