of topics to the faculty. Feel free to contact Dr. Marsha Herron (466-3267 or mdherron@langston.edu) for additional information about presentations.

Research shows that a relationship exists between overall well-being and academic success. Although well-being is a general term that indicates a state of being healthy, happy, or successful (Merriam-Webster Online, 2014), there are some steps that need to
be taken in order to be healthy, happy, or successful. One of the most important steps is healthy nutrition. Healthy nutrition contributes to a person’s well-being because you are what you eat. This presentation will provide practical healthy eating tips
for academic success. </span><br>
