Nutrition Clinic: Body Image
One of the most toxic topics in the media today centers around body image. Women and men alike are affected by society’s standards of what is beautiful, and that can lead to eating and psychological disorders. One of the first steps in combating this negative thinking is body acceptance. On Monday Oct. 30 at 5:15 p.m. in HPER North at the University of Utah, a nutrition graduate student will be teaching some beginning skills to help generate body positivity. The event costs $25, but the results will be priceless. Start your journey toward a healthier self image by attending this unique workshop.
Free Film Screening: Carnival of Souls
As a part of The Eclectic Film Series, “Carnival of Souls” by Herk Harvey will be screened in the Marriott Library on Wednesday Nov. 1 at 1:30 p.m. Filmed in Salt Lake City, this spooky classic tells the tale of Mary Henry, played by actress Candace Hilligoss, who is haunted by a strange spirit after accepting a job as a church organist. Though it’s considered a B-movie, it has gained quite a following and acts as a source of inspiration for modern filmmakers. Come dressed in your favorite ‘60s garb (or any Halloween costume) and munch on some popcorn while you watch this classic horror film. Masks are prohibited.
