The presentation will take place in the Hall of Languages, Room 107, from 2-4 p.m. Largeman-Roth is being brought to the University by the Nutrition Education and Promotion Association (N.E.P.A), a student organization in the College of Human Ecology’s Department of Nutrition Science and Dietetics.

Largeman-Roth was previously part of the editorial team at the Discovery Health Channel, and held the position of managing editor at FoodFit.com.
Largeman-Roth earned her undergraduate degree from Cornell University and completed her dietetic internship at Columbia University in New York City.

Largeman-Roth is the author of “Feed the Belly: The Pregnant Mom’s Healthy Eating Guide” (Sourcebooks, Inc., 2009).
