MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU student who pours knowledge from his academic discipline into feeding the
hungry will be the guest on the next “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Nicholas Rush, a senior dietetics major, will air from 9:30 to 10
p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, and from 6 to 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, on WMOT-FM
Roots Radio 89.5 and www.wmot.org.
Rush serves as a youth ambassador for No Kid Hungry, a
campaign run by the national nonprofit organization Share Our Strength. The
group’s activities include research, advocacy, education and providing school
meals, afterschool meals and summer meals for children. He was placed with No
Kid Hungry through the Tennessee Justice Center in Nashville.
“I’m actually working on the ‘Breakfast after the Bell’
program to increase breakfast participation in counties all across Tennessee,”
Rush said. “So, last semester, I was doing a lot of research with the counties
that were doing well with their breakfast participation and … also counties
that were not doing well.”
