―I became interested in foods and nutrition when I<br />
was in high school. My doctor informed me that I<br />
had high cholesterol levels, and being that I was<br />
only 16, I was very concerned! I began to learn<br />
about how one‘s diet impacts health, and in<br />
particular what foods elevated cholesterol levels.<br />
From then on I was hooked. I knew I would<br />
continue my studies in the field to help others<br />
learn how to fight disease through the power of<br />
good nutrition.‖ Sherri<br />
Best Wishes to Foods & Nutrition:<br />
Over the summer, <strong>Meredith</strong> <strong>College</strong> made the decision for the Foods &<br />
Nutrition Program to join Exercise & Sports Science to form a new department,<br />
Nutrition, Health & Human Performance.<br />
We are featuring a RD Sherri Connor Vettel who graduated from<br />
<strong>Meredith</strong> in 2007 with a degree in Foods & Nutrition before<br />
going on to complete her dietetic internship at <strong>Meredith</strong>.<br />
Although Foods & Nutrition is no longer a part of our HES department,<br />
we still consider Foods & Nutrition degree graduates to be our<br />
alumnae, and would love to hear from you.<br />
Human<br />
Environmental<br />

Foods & Nutrition,<br />
alongside the other<br />
disciplines in HES, has been<br />
an integral part of HES<br />
education since its inception<br />
well over a hundred years<br />
ago. Regardless of<br />
departmental associations,<br />
Foods & Nutrition is still a<br />
great addition to any HES<br />
education. From foods class,<br />
to nutritional analysis,<br />
Foods & Nutrition has been<br />
enriching lives of<br />
individuals, families, and<br />
communities--a foundational<br />
aspect of the Human<br />
Environmental Sciences.<br />
