Reporting from Italy 🇮🇹 Our students are currently enjoying the Living the Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle Study Abroad Program in Florence!

In the pictures our students are cooking a whole meal from scratch, including an appetizer, dessert and fresh pasta 🍝
Then, they visited a primary school, where they learned all about their food service and nutrition systems!

We wish them a wonderful time!

We put the “new” in our Spring 2026 Newsletter!

Today we celebrated an incredible group of graduates from our M.S. in Health Sciences - Concentration in Nutrition program. Many of our graduates will soon be registered dietitians, ready to make meaningful contributions in clinical care, community health, research, and beyond. Their work will shape healthier futures for individuals and communities around the state of Georgia.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Sherry Coleman Collins, MS, RDN, LD, FAND, a distinguished alumna whose career and leadership continue to inspire the next generation of nutrition professionals.

Honoring a legacy of leadership, mentorship, and care 💙

The Department of Nutrition is proud to share the establishment of the Kathy Taylor Scholarship, created in memory of a remarkable dietitian whose impact continues to shape the future of our field.

Through her work at Grady Health System and her dedication to mentoring students at Georgia State University, Kathy Taylor championed patient care and helped advance the role of dietitians in meaningful ways.

This scholarship, now available through the Georgia Dietetic Foundation, will support students in Georgia State's Coordinated Program as they pursue careers in nutrition and dietetics.
