About Us
Mission
The purpose of the Student Dietetic and Food Science Association (SDFSA) is to provide a framework for meaningful student involvement, to stimulate professional interest, and to develop channels of communication between students, advisors, faculty, the Family Consumer Sciences department, and the community in the areas of Dietetics, Food Science and related fields.
Our History
SDFSA was originally founded as SDA in 1975, with the purpose to provide dietetic students with a support group. Throughout the years, SDFSA has helped many students in the dietetics and food science fields with the specialized needs for career and internship information. SDFSA has organized many events such as the Dietetic Internship Symposium and Career Symposium, which offer a broad selection of presenters and organizations. SDFSA also provides networking and volunteer opportunities. SDFSA continues to ensure the mission the original founders set, and to provide new experiences for both fields of dietetics and food science.
