"My passion for nutrition led me to choose dietetics as my major my first day of freshman year. I was one of the few students who never changed majors all four years of college and I can thank the FACS family for that. This amazing network of students and faculty have shown me love and support from my first day of orientation to my last day of senior year. Not only was FACS a place for me to grow my professionally, but I made some of the best friends and memories during my time there. Being a FACS Student Ambassador was one of my favorite experiences and I am so grateful I was able to represent such an outstanding college!" 

- Lindsey Lock, BSFCS '17; MS '18
