Ohio STATE is Seeking an MS student (Food Science) to begin Summer/Fall 2025 at Ohio State University
This project is part of a USDA NIFA Higher Education Challenge Grant titled "Development of a diverse and competent food safety compliance workforce to enhance trust in a secure food system" in collaboration with NC State University and Tuskegee University.
Specifically, the MS student will likely focus on a project assessing student perceptions of careers in auditing, inspection, and assessment and/or evaluate programmatic data from stakeholders using the newly developed curriculum and resources. Project topic is flexible but will focus on some aspect of food safety auditing, inspection, and assessment. Ideally, a student would begin integrating themselves into the project/grant asap. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions: Nicole Arnold, arnold.1363(a)osu.edu (mailto:arnold.1363@osu.edu)

Hi all,
I apologize for sending another e-mail.
Susie and I checked room 229 and noticed that there are a couple of computers, monitors, and keyboards there that haven't been used for a while. We would like to send those back to inventory, but before we do that we would like to know if these items belong to anybody.
Please reply to me and Susie BEFORE Jan 31 2025. If we don't hear from you by then, we will dispose of them in an appropriate manner.
Thanks!
