Welcome to the Nutrition Graduate Students
This page provides some insight on what it's like to be a graduate student in the Department of Nutrition at UNCG. We welcome inquiries from prospective graduate students! If you have any questions feel free to contact jgmesser@uncg.edu and c_chuan2@uncg.edu
NGSA meets once a month. Our meetings are usually held over the lunch hour and give us a chance to "take a deep breath", share some thoughts about our research and course work, and have some fun.
As an organization, NGSA works to advance our students and the field of nutrition. In 1996, NGSA received the Outstanding Community Project Award from the University.
Objectives
- To create a forum for constructive peer support that fosters professional development through discussion of research objectives, the current scientific literature, and oral presentations of our own research.
