Nutrition Graduate Student Association
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 jgmesser@uncg.eduor Danielle Nunnery dlnunner@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 2012 the NGSA won the UNCG Excellence Award for Overall Excellence for Community Service.
