AAMU Students Gain Broader Perspective in Field of Nutrition
Students Attend Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo in Denver
Eight AAMU nutrition and dietetics students traveled to Denver for the Food & Nutrition
Conference & Expo (FNCE®) in Denver, October 7 – 10. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics organizes the
annual event that unites professionals, experts, students and enthusiasts in the realm
of nutrition.
“Students participated in workshops and attended seminars where they were exposed
to cutting-edge research, innovative approaches to dietetics, and future trends in
nutrition,” says AAMU Didactic Program in Dietetics Director and Associate Professor
of Nutrition, Hospitality Management, Dr. Brittanie Chester.
“One of the major highlights of the event is networking,” adds AAMU Nutrition, Hospitality Management Research Assistant Professor Dr. Rhona Miller-Cebert. “As faculty, we were able to connect with peers from across the nation, while our students had the chance to meet established professionals. They not only expanded their professional networks, but now have a broader perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the field of nutrition.”
“I was able to attend a wide range of sessions and really enjoyed learning about all of the different companies and what they have to offer,” said junior Joi Brumby.
