Dr. Catherine Christie<br />
Welcome back Dr. Christie!, tell us what have<br />
you been working on since our last interview?<br />
Currently, as the Associate Dean, I work with the<br />
Dean on projects both within the college and in the<br />
community. I also work with our BCH department<br />
chairs and our SON Director on their priorities as<br />
well as graduate assistant selection and<br />
assignments, faculty searches and updating the<br />
Search Manual, coordinating the summer budget<br />
for departments, and faculty research grant<br />
awards. The Associate Dean serves as the college<br />
liaison with the Florida Department of Law<br />
Enforcement and our background check process<br />
for students who are assigned to community<br />
placements or internships and/or course<br />
assignments. I work together with our college<br />
advising and student success efforts and meet<br />
regularly with Dr. Nguyen to review our BCH<br />
metrics. The university Associate Deans Council<br />
meets monthly and they say they look forward to<br />
the banana bread I make for them as much as the<br />
meetings! This past year, I worked with Dr. Ross and<br />
Dr. Arikawa to reinstitute our study abroad to Italy<br />
after a two year pandemic break and we will offer<br />
the trip again this May so students can personally<br />
experience the Mediterranean diet and culture for<br />
two weeks in Tuscany and Umbria.<br />
Tell us about your roles at the Academy in the past<br />
and at current?<br />
My current roles include serving on the AND Foundation<br />
Board of Directors, Consumer Protection and Licensure<br />
Committee (CPLS) Vice Chair, Licensure Model<br />
Regulations Task Force Member, Licensure Affinity<br />
Group, and Table Facilitator for House of Delegates<br />
Meetings. I have previously served two terms on the<br />
AND Board of Directors, one term as Member at Large<br />
and one term as Treasurer.<br />
What is your vision for the future of the Academy<br />
nationally and internationally?<br />
As the largest organization of food and nutrition<br />
professionals, the Academy is the one membership<br />
organization that every RDN should join and retain. I<br />
encourage starting as students and keeping<br />
membership even when retired. The Academy<br />
advocates for RDNS in every aspect of practice and at<br />
every stage in your career. The Academy also works<br />
with the ICD (international Congress of Dietetics) so we<br />
can partner on international projects and world-wide<br />
priorities for the profession. Membership in the<br />
Academy has always been an essential part of my work<br />
and career progression.<br />
