Why she recommends Cal Poly's Food Science and Nutrition Department
"I would recommend Cal Poly's Food Science and Nutrition Program because of the "hands on" philosophy and experience. This experience has been very helpful during my career. You are not a book worm at Cal Poly. I had the opportunity to be hands-on in the processing of products at the Dairy Processing Center and making jam with Dr. Hampson's Jam Enterprise Project. Not to mention San Luis Obispo is a wonderful town for college life. I go with my family from time to time to enjoy a football game and the town's relaxing life style."
