CAMPUS ROUNDUP

KU MEDICAL CENTER:

Jeannine Goetz, a dietetics and nutrition researcher at the KU Medical Center, has explored what barriers are commonly faced by food-insecure individuals and what impact this has on physical and mental health. "Unlike Third World countries, where food insecurity is associated with wasting and malnutrition, the trend in developed nations is actually toward obesity," says Goetz. "Individuals with a limited budget often load up on high-calorie foods that lack nutritional value when they have the opportunity to go shopping." Food insecurity, or the limited or uncertain availability of food, is becoming more common with a declining economy and rising food prices.

KU HISTORY:

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the "Great Society" legislation into law in October 1965. The bill was intended to improve the health, education and welfare of millions of Americans. While historians have differing opinions on the legislation's long-term effects, one outcome has benefited KU since its inception. The legislation allowed development of a continuing nursing education program that continues to this day. For more, visit www.kuhistory.com.
