CIC in Post & Courier Story on Educated Eating for College Students

Educated Choices: Local Schools Trying to See Students Gain Knowledge, Not Weight
By Elizabeth Laseter, July 29

"Because students at Trident Technical College are typically older and do not live on campus, there are fewer dining facilities[than at The College of Charleston]. However, "The Spot" on Trident Tech's Main Campus offers a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items to students. For example, lunch offers grill items, sandwiches, salads and fresh sushi rolled daily by the cafe's own sushi chef.

"Trident Tech's culinary students learn the essentials of healthy eating through their curriculum. Freshmen are required to take a nutrition class that covers basic nutritional needs of human beings, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Students also learn how they can include nutritional value in the food they prepare. "
