“Being a Cyclone is about choosing your adventure, regardless of what that adventure may look like — life is dynamic, and I believe Cyclones are adaptable to change."
A Community of Adventurers
We do everything we can to set you up for success, even before you step on campus. The Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) offers opportunities to connect with other students and staff so you can accomplish your goals.
Student Success Stories
Hear from students firsthand how their FSHN experiences have helped them improve their own lives and the lives of others. We can’t wait for you to get started so we can share your story, too.
Clubs and Organizations
Student clubs and organizations are a great way to gain meaningful experiences outside the classroom — not to mention employers love seeing them on resumes. Get involved in meetings and fun events, maybe run for an office, but definitely make some strong connections with others who have the same interests and goals.
