Cooking tutorial Georgia Tech Health Initiatives is presenting a free series of events aimed to give students real life skills that aren’t taught in the classroom.
One session has already passed, but there are still two left.
The series kicked off Feb. 7 with a session focused on cooking healthy while on a budget. Jonathan Leonard, executive chef at West Village, demonstrated how to make a quinoa bowl with roasted vegetables and several different types of hummus while a dietitian explained the various choices he was making. He also discussed how to grocery shop on a budget and gave several tips and tricks, such as looking for fruits and vegetables that are in season and buying non-perishable goods in bulk.
The session concluded with a taste test of all of the dishes. Students also received several recipes, a grocery list guide, and other useful information (see below) to enable them to apply these lessons in their daily lives.
Part three of the series, titled Crafting a Purpose – Exploring Your Meaning, takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 6 p.m. in Student Center room 301. The goal is to learn how to understand your purpose and meaning in life and discover the motivation behind certain decisions. There will also be a discussion about ways to manage stress, including art therapy and vision boards.
The final installment, Building Professional Relationships, will be on Tuesday, March 6, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Student Center room 321. Students will participate in a panel discussion with Georgia Tech faculty and staff and learn how to build professional relationships that will help as they pursue careers.
All of the events are free, but registration is required. Visit healthinitiatives.gatech.edu/adulting.
