Dear Fellow Kappa Omicron Nu Members, Faculty, and Alumni, It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the first edition of the Kappa Omicron Nu Honor Society (KON) bi-annual newsletter. This publication will provide active KON members with a platform to share their research, leadership, scholarship, and KON experiences amongst your peers. One of our goals this year was to showcase KON’s involvement throughout the California State University, Northridge (CSUN) campus, to show current and future members what our organization is about. We continue to encourage all members to take an active role within our organization; after all by acquiring this prestigious membership in KON you have achieved the highest attainable honor within our department. It has been my honor to serve as the President of KON for the 2013-2014 academic term. This past year the KON organization has grown substantially through the combined efforts and collaboration of the KON board, advisors, and existing membership. Aspiring to develop creative concepts and innovative ideas in serving the community, we began the year by addressing one of our organization’s national initiatives, social responsibility. This became the theme for our Fall 2013 initiation ceremony, where we held a campus wide food drive to raise almost 1000 pounds of canned goods and other non -perishable items for the Guadalupe Center located in Canoga Park. The Guadalupe Center is a non-profit organization that offers community support programs like tutoring, a thrift store, after school activities, and a food bank for families in need. In addition, KON formed a relationship with the organization Meeting Each Need with Dignity (MEND), an institution focused on transforming the lives
of individuals in need and helping them build a pathway to self-reliance. KON members joined with one another to help make 12 blankets, which were then donated to MEND during our initiation ceremony. During the Spring 2014 academic term, the KON executive board voted to open up three new officer positions: fundraising treasurers, editor, and web administrator. Our fundraising treasurers took on the role of acquiring donations for the various community based support efforts KON participates in, as well as planning two fundraising events this year – St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser, where we sold green bagels and a Chili’s dinner night, which provided a social networking opportunity for both existing and new members to get to know one another as well as meet the advisors. KON successfully created a brand new, professional website (www.csun.edu/ ~kon), with special thanks to Nathan Lopez – this would not have been possible without you. This new website provides members with information about all of our upcoming events, fundraisers, and activities. Continued on pg. 6.

“The mission of Kappa Omicron Nu is to empower leaders...”
Welcome KON Spring 2014 Initiates! On Monday, April 21, Kappa Omicron Nu, held their spring initiation in the Reseda Room on CSUN’s campus. This semester’s initiation was very exciting, as this was the first semester KON was initiating students from the Kinesiology department. The ceremony opened with advisors, Dr. Besnilian and Dr. LewisGoldstein welcoming all incoming initiates and distributing honor cords to
those current members who had completed their community service hours. KON president, Michele Christopher, individually called upon all new members to recognize their academic achievement and to sign the new initiate book. Dr. Lisagor, Acting Department Chair of the FCS department, was also in attendance to congratulate all new KON members.
The mission of Kappa Omicron Nu is to empower leaders who use an integrative approach to enhance quality of living through excellence in scholarship, leadership, and research and I know that our new spring initiates will follow this mission as they continue on in their academic success. -Lindsey Marx, KON Editor

We May Be Small, But We Are Growing Strong! The Omicron Beta Epsilon chapter of Kappa Omicron Nu Human Sciences Honor Society has shown a dramatic improvement in their participation as an organization. With ambitious new leadership KON has taken the initiative to promote their club on campus. This year KON has taken it to the next level by hosting various fundraisers and events. First, a KON website was made in order to keep the public and KON members updated on all the exciting events to come. KON participated in Relay for Life to support the search for a cure for cancer, which raised $1,167. The honor society also attended the Victory for Victims Race to raise awareness and funds for victims of abuse. KON hosted our first ever fundraiser on the CSUN campus on St. Patrick’s Day

by selling green bagels and cream cheese. In addition, the club had an all day fundraiser April 23rd at Chili’s on Reseda with a social hour for the new initiates to meet the club members. Awesome graphic T-shirts were made and sold to members for $15, to show their pride and to wear to KON events. Amy Sadikoff, KON member, and graphic design major, designed a multi -use banner for the club in order to bring more awareness to CSUN students about
KON Honor Society. The new officers of KON have done an excellent job of implementing these changes and making this organization more innovative and inspiring. -Jacqui Cooper, KON Treasurer

“The gratitude
for our efforts was truly special…”
KON Visits the Guadalupe Center On Friday, October 20, KON president, Michele Christopher, and I visited the Guadalupe Center, located in Canoga Park. We met with center coordinator, Margaret Pontius, for a tour of the facility. Having never been there before, Michele and I had no idea what to expect. What we learned during our visit was that the center offers a number of different services and is really a central part of the community. Some of the services they offer for children include: an on-site preschool, large playground with a basketball court, tutoring, and English language classes. These activities are organized to supervise children during after school hours and over the summer. In addition, the Guadalupe Center provides other services to the community such as a thrift store, refugee center that offers job and housing assistance, a senior-volunteer pairing program, and the Loaves and Fishes pantry where they put together bags of food for needy families and the homeless.
After our visit, we were inspired to give back to the Guadalupe Center. KON chose to host a Fall Food Drive to support the Fishes and Loaves pantry. Once the food drive began, a large bin was placed in the FCS office, and much to our surprise the bin kept overflowing with food. Due to the support from our members and Family and Consumer Sciences department, the amount of food we received and donated was ultimately beyond measure. The gratitude for our efforts was truly special and I hope that Kappa Omicron Nu carries on an annual tradition of community philanthropy for our friends and neighbors that need help the most. -Rachel Lander-Canseco, KON Vice-President
What Does it Mean to Be a KON Member? Becoming a member of Kappa Omicron Nu was a very exciting honor for me because not only does it recognize my academic achievement, but makes me part of a team of likeminded individuals. As a member of the group I aim to achieve personal growth, enhance my leadership skills, and network within the campus and outside commu-
nity. I have enjoyed the various events I’ve participated in with KON thus far and look forward to my future involvement within the organization. -Kimberly Tilley, KON member Continued on pg. 5.
Spring 2014 Continued from pg. 4. When I was accepted into CSUN’s MS program in nutrition, I knew that I wanted to make my classes a priority. I made a goal for myself to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, as well as become more involved in my major and campus activities. I was starting CSUN after recently graduating from a large university for my undergraduate degree, where a lecture of 300 students was normal. I quickly got lost in the large classes, doing what I needed, in order to get sufficient grades to graduate but not much more. As I started my master’s coursework, the small classes created a tight knit community
I am a 45-year-old college student. When I was in High School, things like dyslexia, ADD and learning disabilities were not recognized as of yet. From the beginning, things like “not living up to her full potential,” “unfocused,” and “doesn’t pay attention” were the norm for my report cards. I was labeled from the beginning as dumb. I graduated among the bottom of the heap. Knowing that, I couldn’t look beyond Jr. College. Forget University! I staggered and struggled through class after class with bad grades. I was discouraged, disappointed and ready to pack it in for good! Thank goodness for an English teacher who noticed I was having a difficult time even after studying all night
Page 5 that I was happy to be a part of after undergrad. I quickly learned about Kappa Omicron Nu, and knew that this was an organization that would allow me to combine my goal of high academic performance with campus activities and involvement. I completed my first two semesters with the goal of qualifying for KON in the back of my mind, and was initiated during the fall semester. Since then I have been involved as an active member, and am excited to continue as a proud member of Kappa Omicron Nu even after I graduate. -Jennifer Brown, KON member
for a simple spelling test! She suggested that I try the Disabled Student Services for testing and did I know what a learning disability was? “A what?” was my response. Well, 4 weeks later and several tests later, it was determined that I have severe Dyslexia. Viola! What a revelation! From that moment, things were different and I actually completed my Junior College degree with a better GPA than my entire High School one. In 2007 I was accepted into CSUN as a junior and was determined to do the best I could. I wanted good grades! For two reasons, one; CSUN was 2x (at this time) more expensive than Moorpark or Pierce College and two; my beloved moth-
er was footing the bill! I didn’t want to let her down. My road to KON membership and graduation has been paved with personal tragedies. I have had to put my father in a care facility, lost a baby, lost a pet and lost two vehicles to theft. But through it all I have persevered and kept my grades up enough to be accepted into the KON Honor Society. In 2012, I was asked to join, and the initiation ceremony brought tears to my eyes. This is my last semester (for now…?) as a CSUN student, but my first year as a KON member and I am truly honored to be a part of it. -Rona Dexler, KON member

Continued from pg. 1. Our web administrator took on the role of increasing KON’s visibility across the social networking scene, by creating a new Twitter and Instagram account, in addition to maintaining our website and Facebook page. For the first time ever KON participated in CSUN’s annual Relay for Life event, which is an organized community based movement lasting 24 hours, where teams come together in support of celebration, remembrance, and fighting back against cancer. This year the KON team raised an astounding $1,167 to help find a cure for cancer. KON also participated in the Victory for Victims Walk to help raise funds for Northridge Hospital’s Center for Assault Treatment Services. Following the mission statement of KON, our Spring 2014 initiation ceremony focused on empowering leaders through research. KON sponsored the Nutrition and Health Public Policy event, which was coupled with our initiation ceremony. Students were encouraged to attend the public policy event, where they were given the opportunity to display their research, learn more about innovative nutrition and health policies affecting professionals and the public, how local health departments, community organizations, and policymakers collaborate to enhance our public’s health, and ways to take action and get involved in public policy on an individual level. Our participation in events such as this provides students with the tools necessary to
become the successful leaders and researchers of the future. This year KON continued to make its mark on campus by voting to open membership up to Kinesiology students. As of the 2013-2014 academic year the Omicron Beta Epsilon chapter of KON is open to all options within Family and Consumer Sciences – Apparel Design and Merchandising, Consumer Affairs, FCS Education, Family Studies, Interior Design, and Nutrition, Dietetics & Food Science as well as all options within Kinesiology – Athletic Training, Applied Fitness, Dance, Exercise Science, General Studies, and Physical Education. This year KON successfully doubled its membership, which was an extraordinary accomplishment made possible through the incredible teamwork and ambition displayed by the current membership. With the increase in active membership and outreach, KON found the need to utilize an effective avenue of identification across campus, what better way than a t-shirt to represent who we are and provide a mechanism for individuals to recognize our esteemed members.
As President of KON I would like to thank all of the members, officers, and faculty who have been fundamental to the growth, success, and evolution of this organization. This year our membership has demonstrated that innovation, inspiration, and leadership are some of the core components, which have been instrumental in the extraordinary achievements of our organization. I want to thank our wonderful advisors – Dr. Lewis-Goldstein and Dr. Annette Besnilian for their continued dedication to this organization, not only do they support members academically, but they also serve as mentors providing guidance as we collaborate with one another as a group. They both consistently foster a positive working environment, which allows officers and other members to develop stronger interpersonal skills. I look forward to the continued accomplishments that KON aims to achieve in the future; this has truly been an exciting and successful journey for all of us. -Michele Christopher, KON President
CDA: Research & Networking KON nutrition students were well represented at the annual California Dietetic Association (CDA) conference held in Pomona on April 3-5, 2014. The main goal of the conference is to provide continuing education units for dietetic professionals, but it also serves as a great networking opportunity to meet individuals in a variety of dietetic careers. One highlight of the event was the Thursday student networking night. Not only did students “meet and greet” with students from around the state, but we received tips from past dietetic interns and heard words of wisdom from the current CDA president. During the three-day conference, there were ongoing workshops and a large expo

with over 45 vendors from the food industry, as well as clinical and community nutrition organizations. A wide array of topics were discussed at the workshops that include: creating standardized nutrition assessment procedures, the gluten-free diet craze, and updates in the treatment of metabolic syndrome. These workshops focused on innovative research and allowed conference attendees the chance to ask questions to each of the presenters. As a graduate student and member of KON, it was exciting to watch dietetic professionals openly discuss and debate current research. -Colette Rose, KON Fundraising Treasurer/Treasurer Elect
Research: Omega-3 & Breast Milk Mor Levy is a graduate student from CSUN that got very involved in the maternal world, specifically breastfeeding. Originally exposed to the importance of nutrition for this population through working at WIC, she started exploring other ways dietetics can impact pregnant and breastfeeding women. Through her research she discovered that breast milk is the primary source of omega3s for most infants, and an essential part of brain development and other components of normal bodily function. She started to work on a thesis to investigate how much of an impact walnuts have on omega-3 content in breast milk, especially since
America is known for being much lower when compared to the rest of the world. This is also important for vegetarian and non-fish eating populations. She learned that diet significantly impacts the fat composition in breast milk and for this reason, it is important to establish and thoroughly research alternatives to consuming fish that would make a positive impact on lipid content in breast milk.
She will collect breast milk from women that are already inadequate in omega-3 consumption before administering walnuts and after. Once the walnuts have been consumed by the participants, breast milk will be collected again in the hopes of seeing an increase in omega-3 content of the breast milk. If the study can show a strong correlation between walnut consumption and increased omega-3s in breast milk, hopefully this can progress into a more generalizable study reaching more women. Stay tuned to hear about the results from the research!
Mor Levy will be collecting data for her research this summer with participants from a local WIC agency since this is a low socioeconomic population, which is -Mor Levy, KON member known to consume inadequate amounts of omega-3s.

KON Student Featured Article Interested in Becoming Vegetarian or Vegan? Here’s How to Make the Transition Simple and Effortless More and more people are transitioning to a more plant -based diet for a variety of reasons, whether it is a health, environmental or animal concern. According to a National Harris Poll* conducted in 2012, 47% of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week and about 14 million adults consider themselves a vegetarian. Becoming a vegetarian or vegan (elimination of all animal foods) is not all about tofu, granola and berries. Different variations and combinations of vegetables, fruits and plant-based proteins, even desserts, are all a part of a vegetarian and vegan diet. This diet is a lifestyle choice, but does not have to be a heavy burden or an inconvenience, and with a little research, effort and motivation, the transition to a plant-based diet can be simple and effortless. Meat is not the only source of protein, so getting enough should not be a concern. Nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, grains and many more plant-based foods offer significant amounts of protein. Start by adding more vegetables, beans or “fake meats” to meals that contain animal products and slowly make them more and more vegetarian. Don’t give up all favorite nonvegetarian foods right away, as this could impede the transition all together. Sustainable changes come when they are done over time.
Make the easiest changes first and when those no longer feel new, it is time to progress onto more difficult changes. In no time the eliminated animal foods won’t even be missed.

Need Help Eating More Greens? Vegetables remain to be the most under-consumed food, even though they pack the biggest nutritional punch for the least amount of calories. Dark leafy greens get even less attention, though they are rich in phytochemicals, fiber, calcium, beta-carotene and other super healthy components. Here are some ideas to increase the greens. Start the day with a green smoothie that is balanced with 1-2 servings of fruit and full of leafy greens. Try this recipe: ½ cup frozen berries, ½ banana, 1 cup of non-dairy milk, ½ bunch of kale or spinach and a scoop of a nut butter. Blend all ingredients together and enjoy! Add greens to breakfast by filling an omelet with spinach, having scrambled tofu or egg whites with green onion, bell peppers, mushrooms and basil or try having sliced tomatoes and cucumber with plain Greek yogurt. Start lunch or dinner with a green salad. This can help with overall calorie intake and weight control as well as making sure to get greens in before the start of the meal. Start lunch or dinner with a veggie-rich soup. Add bok choy, collards and mustard greens to the broth, they will shrink down and allow much more to be eaten than if eaten raw. Think green for snacks. Reach for broccoli to pair with hummus, spread some nut butter on celery sticks and chomp on some tasty kale chips. Starchy and salty refined crackers and chips won’t even be missed with these yummy snacks. -Jordan Campbell, KON member
Nutrition & Health Public Policy Event Last April, CSUN students and community members enjoyed the Food and Nutrition Public Policy Event organized by a former Dietetic Intern, Jessica King. This great event brought together students and professionals in the health and nutrition fields to learn about ways to advocate for policies that affect us. Participants learned about current legislation, how to educate policymakers on issues we care about, and ways to get more involved in advocacy. Speakers covered the positions and major legislative efforts of the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE),
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), and California Dietetic Association (CDA), as well as local policy advocacy. After last year’s success, it was exciting to see the growth of the Nutrition and Health Public Policy Event, which took place all day on Monday, April 21. It was an inspiring day filled with engaging speakers including Congressman Cardenas, Councilmember Fuentes, and our own Dietetic Interns. Attendees also had a chance to learn about student policy work from poster presenta-
tions and to participate in a raffle. This event was cosponsored by CSUN’s Dietetic Internship Program, Master of Public Health Program, Marilyn Magaram Center, KON Student Honor Society, and The Institute for Community Health and Wellbeing. Overall, the event was a major success and students from all majors could benefit from learning how to get involved in public policy. -Nina Braynina, RDN, KON member

Research: CSUN Nutrition Experts Website Launch Research has shown that college students have a lack of nutrition knowledge regarding proper nutrition and that nutrition education has been shown to improve dietary behaviors (Kolodinsky et al., 2007). As college students, we are all aware of the barriers to eating healthy, such as financial issues, time constraints, and misconceptions about healthy eating. Furthermore, many college students are not aware of the longterm consequences associated with a poor diet. Over the past year, to fulfill my thesis project, I have been working alongside Dr. Annette Besnilian and CSUN’s Center for Visual Communication (VISCOM) to create a personalized nutrition education website for CSUN students and faculty. CSUN does not currently have their own nutrition education website and would greatly benefit from a site like the one we have created. To help us personalize the website to better meet the needs of CSUN stu-
dents, three main categories were selected to represent CSUN’s general student population. These include students from 1) the student health center, 2) student athletes, and 3) students with children. These groups completed surveys inquiring about the types of nutrition topics they would like to learn about, what they are currently doing to improve their nutrition, and what types of nutrition resources will be most useful for them. The topics on the website were chosen by selecting the most common responses to survey questions and topics that I found to be significant throughout my research. Some topics include; eating healthy on a budget, eating healthy on and off campus, sports nutrition, shopping and cooking tips, tips for picky eaters, and organic versus conventional foods.
to make the website’s name more appealing and easier for students to remember, we have decided to call it, “CSUN Nutrition Experts”. The website will be monitored and updated regularly and will highlight CSUN’s dietetic internship and other nutrition programs located on and off campus. The website is currently in its developmental phase and is scheduled to be launched in May 2014. Reference: Kolodinsky, J., Harvey-Berino, J., Berlin, L., Johnson, R., & Reynolds, T. (2007).

Kappa Omicron Nu Participates at Relay for Life Kappa Omicron Nu participated in the 6th annual California State University, Northridge Relay for Life event on the weekend of March 22 and raised $1,167 for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Relay for Life is hosted annually on college campuses nationwide by the club Colleges Against Cancer, which is affiliated with ACS. Collectively, 31 campus organizations participated and raised $11,936 for cancer research and awareness. Relay for Life is a 24-hour overnight fundraising walk where team members take turns making laps. The ACS Relay for Life website states, “Because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.” KON had two members spend the night in a tent on the quad, Michele Christopher, the team captain, and Niloufar Farivarmoheb. Continued on pg. 11.
Page 11
Continued from pg. 10. The walk this year circled the Sierra Quad in front of the Oviatt Library. The event started at 10 AM on Saturday and the first lap was completed by cancer survivors, followed by a parade of participating teams. From 11AM to 1AM the laps were themed and included a bunny hop, dancing, a zombie walk, and a pajama lap. Every Relay for Life event includes a Luminaria ceremony after dark and candles were lit inside of bags that were personalized by participants. The bags encircled the track and paid tribute to loved ones who have been affected by cancer.
Relay for Life events take place in over 20 countries year-round. Approximately 5,200 events take place in the United States every year raising more than $400 million annually. Funds are used for research and to provide services for cancer patients and those who care for them. A special thanks to our team and all of our donors for helping us meet our fundraising goal! The following individuals participated on behalf of KON: Michele Christopher (team captain), Candice Crump, Amy Sadikoff, Silva Avedissian, Jackie Bancroft, Annette Besnilian, Ardo Besnilian, Amanda Blake, Nina Braynina, Jacqui Cooper, Celina Diaz, Niloufar Farivarmoheb, Christy Helvestine, Simona Hradil, Rachel Lander-Canseco, Lindsey Marx, Colette Rose, Alin Sanoyans, Kimberly Tilley, Alex Velasco, and Dani Voosen.
KON member Rachel Lander-Canseco raised $326, which made her the highest KON contributor and the fourth highest for the entire university. “It -Amanda Blake, was a great surprise and honor to have KON Publicity Officer raised so much money,” LanderCanseco said. “It always impresses me how generous people can be when you are doing something that touches so many people.” Rachel’s mom is a breast cancer survivor. “She has been cancer-free now for over five years, and is one of the toughest, smartest, and most positive people I know. It was really an honor to raise so much for the organization.”
