The Friedman Sprout is a monthly student-run newspaper that aims to serve the student population at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, prospective students, and alumni. The goal of the Friedman Sprout is to act as an educational tool for the students who choose to write for the paper or to read the paper. As an educational tool we accept writing on a wide range of topics pertinen
t to the various aspects of nutrition, health, and overall well-being. Our newspaper accepts submissions from all Friedman students; whether writing talents lie in news articles, research articles, or opinion pieces. We want to encourage students to develop research and writing skills through their contributions and editing of the newspaper. A secondary goal of the Friedman Sprout is not only to be both an educational tool for current students but also a method of communication to link alumni, first year students, second year students, and prospective students, as well as between each of the five concentrations at the Friedman School. The newspaper has regular, monthly columns highlighting alumni achievements, policy updates, nutrition research, and campus-wide events, which should appeal to all students regardless of program or year as well as alumni and prospective students.
