Supporting the Food Science Department
Support Learn By Doing
The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences and the Food Science and Nutrition Department are committed to providing students with hands-on experiential learning in the fields of food science, nutrition, food business, and more. With private support from alumni, friends, and industry partners, we enhance and expand Learn by Doing opportunities for students—from the classroom to the laboratory to community outreach—and beyond!
Your financial support matters.
Donations can be made to the Food Science and Nutrition Department to support student scholarships, facilities, research, on-campus work experience, and clubs. Consider making a charitable contribution to one or more of the following:
