Fashion Instagrammer Justin Price - Episode 28

Dr. SuJean Choi studies how different parts of the brain tell us to keep eating even when we're full, which includes more than 300 distinct human motivations to eat. 

Dr. Choi is the recipient of both the Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J., Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence, and the Way Klingler Fellowship Award — $50,000 for three years — which she will use to learn how we can regulate the need to fuel our bodies versus the desire to eat for potentially unhealthy reasons.

In addition to her scholarly work, Dr. Choi talks about playing competitive Ultimate Frisbee for 25 years and her black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

The Jesuit YouTube Star

Kamille Fritz, Nursing '18, partnered with men's lacrosse coach Joe Amplo and coaches from the near west side to bring a nationally-recognized violence prevention program to Milwaukee. 

The Coaching Boys into Men program helps change social norms and behaviors regarding dating violence. Fritz helped run the program as the Center for Peacemaking's Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Awareness Program Coordinator for the Near West Side Partners team. 

In the program, 15 male sports coaches from the Near West Side attended the event where they learned how to use a playbook: A card series with 12 topics and conversations to be had over the course of the season. Coach Amplo attended in support and shared his experience with coaching and the major mentorship role of coaches. 

The program emphasizes healthy relationships, respect for others and the power of sports. Coaching Boys into Men is one of five recognized interventions by the CDC with data supporting its effectiveness in violence prevention.
