The mission of Eating Disorder Education and Prevention is to encourage students to move toward an accepting attitude of body size and shape; to educate in the areas of eating disorders, body image and wellness; and to provide resources and referrals on campus.

EDEP is a student association of UNL student volunteers who have an interest in eating disorder awareness and prevention. The focus of EDEP is in the area of eating disorder prevention. One of the goals is to reach those who may be participating in dangerous behavior. Education may ultimately prevent some from developing a clinical eating disorder. Any UNL student is welcome to join.
