Winter 2011 Message from the President

[Ed Bauman]

The health of the world is of the utmost importance to us all. With the stressful pace and complexity of daily life, we are witnessing the depletion of our ecology, economy, education, agriculture, and health care systems. At Bauman College, we are committed to educate our family, community, and leaders to take responsibility and put wellbeing into action. This begins with how we eat, move, work, consume, relate, and problem solve. Nutrition professionals play an essential role in bringing the tools of health promotion, disease prevention, and recovery to those ready and willing to transform self and society.

Bauman College Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts is a proud forerunner of, and advocate for, sustainable nutrition. We are advocating for sustainable agriculture, holistic nutrition, and national wellness to create a solution for the pressing problems of ecology, economy, and the world. Our curriculum is based on the Eating For Health™ model, which teaches how to care for one’s self and those around us with optimal nutrition and food choices that support the whole planet.

As Bauman College begins its 23rd year of operation, I am grateful to our outstanding faculty, staff, students, and graduates. What a blessing it is for me, and for us, to be surrounded by so many bright and committed individuals and to welcome more to our endeavor to improve health, one bite at a time. Bauman College is unique in creating and maintaining an innovative curriculum based on the science of nutrition, the art of cooking, the skill of teaching, and the joy of being of service. In our Natural Chef and Nutrition Consultant certificate programs, we provide students with current, cutting-edge materials that prepare natural chefs and nutrition professionals to work effectively with doctors, educators, clients, families, and organizations.

For the person who wants to learn more about nutrition, yet is unable to commit to a professional certificate program, we offer an eight-week Nutrition Essentials for Everyone™ course. This course provides foundational whole food nutrition information, practical cooking lessons with gourmet, allergy-free recipes from around the globe, and prepares students to reach their best possible health through nutrition.

I welcome you to explore the delicious world of Bauman College, as presented in our catalog and on our website.  Now is the perfect time to fortify yourself personally and professionally to meet the challenges in the upcoming year and beyond. Now is also the time to fortify yourself to help make a difference in the world. When stress is high, Eating For Health™ can be your anchor of inner strength, vitality, and resilience and guide you in doing your part to change the world through sustainable nutrition.

Peace,
Ed
