Elizabeth Irvin is a Spanish professor in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. Outside of her responsibility as a faculty member, she also serves as the Director of Cuerpo Sano, Mente Sana. The program, which began in 2009, provides healthy foods and education on living a healthy lifestyle on a low-income budget. The program currently serves seven children and their families in the local Wilmington area.
What makes this program unique is that it provides a weekly bag full of nutritious foods and snacks, while teaching the families how to eat healthier while on a limited income. Once a month, Professor Irvin and her group of volunteers conduct a session with the 7 families to discuss the topic of nutrition and exercise. The families leave each session with a homework assignment that will help them become aware of their personal nutrition and how they can make improvements.
