SWITCH Campus Team
SWITCH is led by an interdisciplinary research team of faculty and students that work collaboratively with ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H youth program specialists to ensure that the programming meets school needs and can be disseminated effectively. Content and research expertise in the Do, View, and Chew areas is provided by Iowa State University departments including Kineseology, Food Science Human Nutrition, and Psychology, while the 4-H Youth Development unit provides expertise in positive youth development.
