Student Activities and Co-Curricular Programs
The FHS offers a Co-Curricular Program, the CPO, in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA). The CPO fosters interpersonal and professional growth of FHS students on the Dekwaneh, Kurah, and Souk El Gharb campuses by engaging them in activities on and off campus - designed to promote an active and enjoyable university experience, and build good citizenship, leadership, problem solving, conflict resolution, organization, communication, and teamwork skills. This is done through facilitating the operations of clubs and societies, student employment, athletics, and counseling services.

Through the actions of the Academic Programs, the Department of Community Engagement, and the CPO, the FHS develops networks and partnerships with international, regional, governmental, and non-governmental organizations, and contributes to University efforts to expand community outreach and build bridges between the University and society. This furthermore enhances the FHS students’ chances of finding professional employment by participating in the various events and activities of the CPO, building new connections, and developing professional experience in a positive and recreational environment.

The Faculty values its ongoing contact with its students and alumni, which it maintains through its website, social media links and periodic gatherings. It also engages its graduates in ongoing health training and community interventions.

Nutritional Sciences Department Club

Nutri-Club
The Nutri-Club offers the opportunity for future nutritionists and dietitians to organize, plan, prepare, and execute nutrition related activities and games, aiming to increase Nutrition Knowledge among FHS students. Successful activities throughout the years attested on the importance of the Nutri Club as part of the FHS clubs.

As for social media, a key advantage is that it allows students to connect from home, different campuses, and work-study programs. Nutrition and healthy eating tips, recipes, articles, and more are shared continuously on a regular basis on Facebook and Instagram groups.
