The 2017 Nutrition Alumni Brunch was a Success!

Thank you to everyone who traveled to University Park to attend the Nutrition Alumni Brunch on Sunday, Feb. 25 at the Nittany Lion Inn. Our annual brunch featured a speed networking event for students, award presentations, a department update.

Speed Networking Event

The speed networking event provided career advice for students.

View a list of alumni who participated in the speed networking event, along with their bios.

The alumni participants provided students with a brief summary of their careers in nutrition and then spent a majority of the time answering questions from students on career choices and how to prepare for a successful career.

If you are interested in serving on a future career panel or participate in a speed networking event, please contact Barbara Kochanowski, NDAS president, at bkochanowski@msn.com or Kristi Stoehr, assistant director of alumni relations, at klf133@psu.edu
