The University of Tampa offers students free nutrition consultation services. If you are interested in meeting with a Certified Nutrition Specialist, please email the Wellness Center at nutrition@ut.edu.
Become a Certified Nutrition Specialist
Each spring semester, Live Well UT partners with Student Government to bring AASDN to campus in order to train students who are interested in becoming a Certified Nutrition Specialist. Some scholarships are available for qualifying UT students. For more information on this opportunity, please contact wellness@ut.edu.
The Body Project
The Body Project is a group-based intervention that provides a forum for female-identifying college students to confront unrealistic appearance ideals and develop healthy body image and self-esteem. The program is a two-hour, body acceptance workshop delivered in a group format and open to all genders and ages.
During the Body Project Experience, you will:
- Challenge unwanted body comments
- Improve your body image
- Connect with others impacted by our complicated relationships with food and exercise
- Commit to making positive change together
If you would like to request a Body Project Workshop, contact Abby McElligott, assistant director of fitness, to schedule via email at amcelligott@ut.edu.

Victim Advocacy
UT is proud to offer victim advocacy services to any student who has been the victim of a violent crime. The program is staffed with trained advocates who are designated by the Office of the Attorney General to provide victim services and work on-campus in student life. An advocate may be contacted during the fall and spring semesters through the victim advocate hotline (813) 257-3900 or by contacting Campus Safety. During summer terms or between academic terms, advocates may be contacted solely through Campus Safety. You may always contact an advocate by emailing victimadvocacy@ut.edu.
