Thursday evening I attended the graduation celebration at CSNN Moncton which took place at the Mountain Road Campus. I would like to send my sincere congratulations to the 9 graduating students from that class who are now Registered Holistic Nutritionists: Genevieve, Alysha, Pierre Andre, Tyson, Rachelle, Claudia, Andrea, Candice and Vanessa.The buffet style whole foods meal was delicious and I would like to thank Judy Underhill, RHN and branch manager for inviting me to attend this special celebration.

As your Business Mastery teacher, I would like to remind you all that last evening was the beginning of your new chosen career. You have completed numerous hours of case work and studies- from anatomy to biochemistry to eco-nutrition.  After speaking to you all I noticed that many of you are already consulting or have been hired to work within the industry!  Your employers are luck to have such “keen, energetic and passionate” employees who have completed a high level of training. Students if you have any questions pertaining to starting your own business feel free to email them to me at anytime, positivechange@rachellewood.ca .

As a new graduate you do receive a 1 year membership for the CSNN Alumni Association. The CSNNAA is a not for profit organization which works with graduates to create a voice for graduates within our industry. The CSNNAA has a fantastic website, http://www.csnnalumni.org/ where each member has an online profile. I highly recommend that you create an online profile and post aticles, recipes, news or even book reviews to your page.  It’s a great way for us to keep in contact and promote our profession online.
