Students had the opportunity to visit Wirtz Hall for the Taste of Health and Human Sciences fair Wednesday afternoon.

Liz Harris, academic advisor in the college of health and human sciences said the event was supposed to resemble the Taste of Chicago, since food was being offered at each booth. The event offered undecided majors of the university and students in the College of Health and Human Sciences an opportunity to learn about the variety of programs and organizations.

“This is a good way to find out the different committees and clubs to get involved with,” Harris said. “It is also to promote the different majors, especially the ones they might be unfamiliar with.”

The organizations and programs represented at the event were the Student Dietetic Association, the school of nursing, Fashion Industries Organization — which features the bachelor of science degree in textiles, apparel and merchandising — Public Health Student Association, ETA Sigma Gamma, the Student Advancement Committee, clinical laboratory science program and the audiology department.

As students walked around, they enjoyed the refreshments and learned about the variety of programs.

Sarah Aarseth, textile, apparel and merchandising major and member of FIO, said the organization was represented at The Taste to encourage students to learn about the program and activities they do with fashion.

“We are trying to get the word out to students,” Aarseth said.

Carissa Coons, a graduate student in audiology who represented the department of audiology and the student academy of audiology, said they were making students become aware of their program.

“We are recruiting to let them know what it is, and it’s a matter of educating people,” Coons said.

The department of audiology had a dummy sitting on the table, which allowed students to test how loud they listen to their music on an iPod and how crucial it can be to their ears.

Many students do not realize how loud they are listening to their music, Coons said.
