From the Dean…
The first teaching facilities that supported Syracuse University nutrition courses in the early 1900s included 24 gas stoves, a coal and a gas range, and a fireless cooker. What a difference a century makes! Today our student learning laboratory in the Susan R. Klenk Learning Café and Kitchens features a high-tech, well-equipped experimental food lab and commercial kitchens, a baking nook, a 44-seat café, and oh, so much more. As nutrition education needs have evolved, so too have our nutrition offerings.

Our nutrition program has responded to the challenges of society. The vast and varied accomplishments of the students and faculty of the program are remarkable. This year, the nutrition program is pleased to celebrate a century of successfully educating nutrition students, contributing to the field of nutrition research, and serving the profession. As we celebrate our 100th year, we will start with an evening reception on September 22, 2017. We will hold a silent auction to support our N.S.D. students in their community outreach and research. The reception will be held at the newly renovated Marriott Syracuse Downtown (formerly the Hotel Syracuse). A special group rate for hotel accommodations at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown is secured for our weekend event. On September 23rd, we will host a day of education and networking in the Falk Complex (formerly the College of Law buildings in White and MacNaughton Halls) on campus. The morning will include selected education sessions by alumni using various formats (lecture/discussion and cooking demonstrations). Daina Falk, the daughter or our College’s benefactors, David B. and Rhonda S. Falk, will conduct a cooking demonstration and a tailgate lunch will follow in the courtyard of the Falk Complex.

- Support student opportunities to conduct research, attend conferences, or study abroad.
- Similar to the Ann Selkowitz Litt Distinguished Lecture Series (see story), with funding we could bring in a series of dietetic/food/nutrition experts to provide food demonstrations on a theme, or we could bring in experts on physical assessments to train the students and local R.D.s. We could also offer a wider series of applied classes for credit and/or for continuing education to the community.
- There are also opportunities to support students while we provide a service to the community or conduct research via ACE assistants. Funding could support nutrition counselors, physical assessment technicians, food demonstration masters and assistants to support equipment usage, food demonstrations, set up/clean up/ ordering and preparation for tasting events. These positions are essential to implement more intensive classes and seminars.
- ACE Grants could support student use of the ACE Center to conduct education/research.
