There's nothing more rewarding than bringing together dedicated professionals who are passionate about preparing the next generation of registered dietitian nutritionists.

Thank you to our Coordinated Program Advisory Board members for joining us today for a wonderful luncheon and an engaging planning meeting. Your expertise, thoughtful discussion, and commitment to student success are invaluable as we continue to strengthen the Master of Science in Nutrition/Coordinated Program in Dietetics at the University of Montevallo.

As we prepare to welcome our second cohort, I'm thrilled to share that our program has experienced 200% enrollment growth since last fall. We continue to have a 100% pass rate on the RDN exam. This exciting milestone reflects the hard work of our faculty, the enthusiasm of our students, and the confidence our community has in this program.

I can't wait to see what this next year brings!
