We want to recognize and celebrate the incredible work of our student organizations within the Department of Allied Health Sciences: Student Dietetic Association, Allied Health Club, and the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association! 🎉

This year, we proudly honored graduating seniors, dedicated board members, and outstanding members whose leadership and commitment helped strengthen each organization and enrich the student experience.

Through these organizations, students in Allied Health Sciences have meaningful opportunities to collaborate with peers and faculty, participate in campus and community events, and engage in experiences that extend learning beyond the classroom.

These experiences not only support academic and professional development, but also help students grow personally and build lasting connections within their future professions.

Thank you to all who contribute their time, energy, and leadership—you make a real impact! 👏

We are proud to highlight one of our student researchers, Hailey Mason (Senior, Dietetics), who recently presented “Composting in Food Labs: A Pilot Study of Food Waste Reduction and Sustainability Education” at the University of Louisiana System Academic Summit held at Southeastern Louisiana University.

She joined seven other Nicholls State University students for this exciting professional experience, representing our university with enthusiasm and professionalism.

This work was completed under the guidance of her faculty mentors, Dr. Allison Gaubert and Dr. Brigett Scott, whose support helped shape this meaningful applied research project focused on sustainability in food science education.

A special thank you to the Nicholls Office of Research & Sponsored Programs for supporting student travel and making opportunities like this possible.

At Nicholls, health sciences students don’t just learn in the classroom—they actively engage in real-world, faculty-mentored research that contributes to meaningful issues like sustainability, food systems, and community impact.
