Lunch & Learn - Plant Based Diets 101
Workshop/Training
USU Be Well and Registered Dietitian, Brooke Lister, present a lunch and learn on plant based diets. A plant based diet is any diet that focuses on foods derived from plant sources. However, people often have different interpretations of what “plant-based” eating looks like. Plant-based diets have many nutritional benefits that impact our health but we want to make sure we are getting a variety of plant-based foods to get all the nutrients we need. In this presentation, we will talk about the benefits of plant-based diets and steps you can take to implement a more plant-based diet that is well-rounded and will give you the nutrition you need. *Presentation is available in person and virtually and will be recorded. Attendance and participation in this event qualify as an activity for the Be Well Rewards program.
Teen Girls Experiencing Increased Sadness and Violence: A Discussion with Utah Experts
Panel Discussion/Presentation
The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for our second Spring Women’s Leadership Forum.
According to a recently released Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, nearly 3 in 5 (57%) U.S. teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021—double that of boys, representing a nearly 60% increase and the highest level reported over the past decade. It also discusses findings that teen girls are experiencing record high levels of violence, sadness, and suicide risk. LGBQ+ youth are at high risk as well. Dr. Susan Madsen will be moderating a panel with Utah mental health professionals—Drs. Christy Kane, Gina Hales, and Jenet Jacob Erickson—as well as the founder of Provo Girls Summit, Tanei Atagi Henry, who will discuss these concerning findings as they relate to girls and young women in the state of Utah. In addition to discussing the research findings, they will also share practical solutions on how parents, educators, religious leaders, and other influencers can strengthen girls and young women today.

Denim Day
Special Event
Demin Day will be observed by USU Eastern and is the largest and longest running international sexual assault awareness campaign. Denim Day started in 1999 shortly after an Italian Supreme Court judge overturned a conviction based on the argument that the 18-year-old survivor’s jeans were so tight, her 46-year-old driving instructor couldn’t have removed them himself before sexually assaulting her. We'd love to see the entire USU Eastern community wearing denim on April 26th to show solidarity for survivors! We will also be holding a booth in JLSC from 9am-3pm and invite you all to come by to decorate and take photos by our denim wall.

Denim Day Celebration
Special Event
In 1992, a sexual assault conviction was overturned in Rome, Italy by the Italian High Court because the victim had been wearing tight jeans. The court argued that because her jeans were tight she would have had to assist him in removing them, therefore giving him consent. Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans on the steps of the Supreme Court. Over the years wearing jeans on this anniversary has become an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual violence. Join in solidarity by wearing jeans on Wednesday, April 26th. Stop by our Denim Day barbecue for photo booth opportunities and to build community.
