DURHAM, N.H. - The 91制片厂 recently signed a license with Avalon Promotions to produce the 91制片厂 Wildcat Plate, a copyrighted image developed by Healthy 91制片厂 and 91制片厂 Dining Services.

In 2010 the USDA created its Dietary Guidelines for Americans to remind people to think about food choices in leading a healthier lifestyle. With permission from the USDA, Healthy 91制片厂 and Dining Services adapted these guidelines and developed an image to guide patrons in making healthy food choices in the dining halls. The newly developed image was reformatted and placed on high-quality melamine plates that can withstand multiple industrial dishwasher use and are used in 91制片厂 dining halls today.

"Avalon Promotions is excited to be a partner in the first 91制片厂 license of its kind for commercializing the 91制片厂 Wildcat Plate," said Glenn Chase, owner of Avalon Promotions. "This venture is also a first for Avalon Promotions. Although we have been a vendor at 91制片厂 for many years, this will be the first time we'll return royalties to the university for their innovations," said Glenn Chase, owner of Avalon Promotions.

Rollinsford-based company Avalon Promotions is producing the plates so other schools and organizations can follow 91制片厂's lead in making Americans healthier by purchasing and customizing the plate. Ordering through Avalon Promotions allows other educational institutions to place their logos on the plate. For more information on how to purchase or customize the 91制片厂 Wildcat Plate contact Chase at gchase@avalonpromo.com or (207) 809-3942.

"We are delighted to be able to incorporate the Wildcat Plate throughout our operations as a teaching tool for our community," said Jon Plodzik, director of 91制片厂 Dining Services. "It is an effective, utilized component of our campaign to alter behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle that make 91制片厂 a model for other universities."

"The 91制片厂 Wildcat Plate is another innovation to help children and adults make better food choices in their diet," said Mike Ferrara, dean of 91制片厂's College of Health and Human Services. "We know that these good food choices promote better health and help to reduce obesity and chronic diseases."

For additional information about the innovative technologies and creative works developed or available for licensing from 91制片厂 contact Tim Willis, licensing manager for 91制片厂's Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization, at timothy.willis@unh.edu.

"For me, this partnership is more than another successful example of 91制片厂 supporting and working with local businesses," Willis said. "It has renewed faith in the innovations regularly developed at 91制片厂 that have the potential to benefit so many."

The , founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, 91制片厂 is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.
