This research topic surrounds eating disorders and their growing prevalence in college and college-age students. It focuses on the online resources made available by universities to aid in the treatment of these disorders. College students go to the internet first when looking up health information, and this makes it crucial that universities are up to date with their online health and counseling information. The purpose of this research was to analyze the online presence for eating disorder treatment presented by universities within the Pac-12. Analysis was based on three criteria: content presentation, navigation and information. Of the 12 universities, no university supplied all the information subcategories listed in Table 1. However, six of the 12 universities had at least 50.00% of the information subcategories listed on their websites. Also, 58.33% of the universities identified eating disorders as a reason to seek counseling services. However, with only 33.33% having an eating disorder resource page, more needs to be offered on the universities' websites. Keywords: bulimia, anorexia, treatment, EDNOS, BED, college students, health information, university resources

The majority of athletes think there is one ‘right’ way to eat. However, eating and fueling yourbody are highly individualized, especially for female athletes. We evaluated the eating habits of female student-athletes at Arizona State University (ASU) by looking at how they chose to fuel their bodies for training and competition. Through interviews with six female student-athletes, two Registered Dieticians, and one Sports Performance Director all from ASU, we were able to find that, while there were some common eating trends, sports nutrition is individualized. We also learned that student-athletes have room for improvement when it comes to nutrition education.
