The Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition, Universiti Malaysia Sabah extends its highest appreciation and congratulations to Nutri-Club and Dr. Norliyana Aris for the successful implementation of the Nutri Talk 1.0 Program: Body Image, Reality vs Illusion, which was successfully held at SMK Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu on 14 April 2026.

The program successfully attracted the participation of more than 300 students—an impressive achievement that reflects the very positive response from the school. It aimed to raise students’ awareness of the importance of a healthy body image, while also providing early exposure to balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the program served as a platform to introduce the Nutrition Programme offered by the Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition, Universiti Malaysia Sabah. This initiative indirectly helped to increase students’ interest in the field of nutrition and opened up opportunities for them to explore related career paths.

This program supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, and SDG 15: Life on Land. Through nutrition education and healthy lifestyle awareness, the program encourages students to better understand the connection between daily food choices, responsible consumption, environmental care, and sustainable living.

The Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition warmly welcomes the implementation of more community-based and school outreach programs like this in the future, as part of its continuous effort to disseminate nutritional knowledge to society and strengthen the role of the university within the community.

Once again, heartfelt congratulations and appreciation to all parties involved in making this program a success.
