Hi Food Sci Family, It has been an amazing few months of recruiting activities and some firsts, at that. I'd like to share that we are the WINNERS of the CASNR Crunch Off competition (see photo for trophy). I am grateful for the ongoing help as you volunteer as an extra set of hands, tour guides, or stopping in to introduce yourself to our freshman class of budding Food Scientists. Some of you have offered ideas and are helping design lessons that turn into recruiting activities I can use to help students understand Food Science as a career. Amazing support as I seem like a one-horse act! Thank you, thank you. Every bit counts as recruiting.
I am sharing more volunteer opportunities over the next few weeks. There are dates and brief descriptions below. I can share more details if you have any questions. Just let me know. Thank you for your consideration, Sarah
