“Receiving my master’s in Nutrition and Food Science from Montclair State University was an integral part of my success in building a unique and effective nutrition education program, Veggiecation. The knowledge I obtained in my graduate courses gave me the skills and inspiration I needed to understand what barriers to nutrition education are and how to overcome them. Post-graduation, the University [Department of Health and Nutrition Sciences] faculty have been incredibly supportive of my work and have always made themselves readily available with advice and guidance. I am grateful for my time and experience at Montclair State.” – Lisa, Class of 2010
