State Level Student and Graduate Group Activities
In 2005 with the help of eager volunteers, CCNH launched 13 state level student and graduate groups. Existing groups are meeting for networking, discussing their CCNH education, and pursuing natural health lifestyle activities. Others have established groups to bring together current and prospective natural health practitioners to discuss the field in general, to encourage referrals, and to aid in educating the public on the benefits within our field.
- Maggie Conklin’s western Michigan group spent their inaugural meeting discussing dissertations, the differences between degree programs at CCNH, animal health and nutrition, and different outlets of work upon graduation. They also took a walk to point out common wild herbs that grow in Maggie’s area, and they picked the rest of her ever–bearing raspberries. For the next meeting everyone was encouraged to bring their favorite healthy recipes to exchange and perhaps make a cookbook. They are also scheduling a field trip to a large organic farm in the next few months.
- Agnes Nowakowski’s San Francisco, CA group’s activities have included a visit to a local herb garden and a presentation by a CCNH Herbal Studies student, a presentation from another student on aromatherapy and specific oils to use for ailments, and a presentation by Agnes on her findings at an herbal symposium. They also had a soy candle making party using essentials oils and healthy wax.
These are just a few of the activities the groups are organizing. Visit your state’s page on our reference map to see if there is a group in your area, or contact Tara N. Brown at to learn more about organizing a group in your area.
