A note from Michelle:  

The GREAT program was an extremely educational and resourceful program.  The
materials for the program made my job easy as a trainer to implement at our
Universities.  With the increase of students with celiac disease we saw a
need for a food intolerance station.  At this station we will now serve
gluten free selections for students.  

As everyone with

celiac disease knows, sticking to a
<http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/theglutenfreediet/a/GrainTable.htm>
gluten-free diet is hard enough when you have your own kitchen in a house or
apartment. For a gluten-free college student in a dormitory, the challenges
can be overwhelming. This is particularly true for freshmen, who are not
accustomed to living away from home or providing food for themselves, may
not have access to stores that sell gluten-free food, and usually live in
freshmen dormitories with few if any cooking facilities.  AVI has seen a
need for specialty selections such as gluten free pizza and breads to be
available to college students.  We have partnered with the GREAT program and
have implemented the GREAT training.  I cannot say enough good things about
all resources available for the staff and management from the GREAT program.
The resources helped to educate staff and provide tools to use for students
with celiac disease.   I did not have to recreate a program.  As a corporate
dietitian I do not the time to create programs. Therefore, GREAT made my job
easy to implement and train the staff.   Thanks so much.
