This is the question students ask each other as we get prepared for the annual “Food Convention” as I like to call it. This past July, Chapman University’s food science graduate students and faculty attended the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Meeting and Expo in
In a big year for Schmid College, alumna Elizabeth Berrigan ’14 was among the few awarded the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in Physics and Astronomy – Theoretical Physics.
