Personal Commentary
SJSU has given me opportunities for professional and personal development during my 33 years of service with the university. I have been privileged to work with a very dynamic community of faculty and students in the Department of Nutrition, Food Science and Packaging (NuFS). I also consider it truly a privilege to constantly have the interactions with very ambitious and intelligent students. I owe a great deal to my graduate students for their contributions to my professional and scholarly activities during my 33 years at SJSU.
