Reflecting on an incredible industry visit! 🥽✨

Last week, our NFS department took a deep dive into the world of food innovation at PepsiCo in Plano! 🥤

We were honored to have our Department Chair and Dean Catrine (College of Health Sciences at Texas Woman's University) join 12 of our standout students (9 undergrads and 3 graduates) for this exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.

From R&D to large-scale production, seeing "classroom science" applied at a global scale was a game-changer for our Pioneers. It’s experiences like these that bridge the gap between being a student and becoming a professional. 🔬🦉

A huge thank you to the PepsiCo team for your continued support and for hosting such an inspiring day! 🤝

We also had a special moment celebrating Sister Bridget Coffie (Class of 2025), who received her "Dietitian pin" at our last meeting. This pin recognizes the completion of all her requirements—she is officially ready to sit for the RDN exam! 🎊🩺
