Food Science Society Club Ins And Outs!

Are you interested in becoming a Food Science and Technology major?  Cal Poly Pomona is the place for you.  Through this major you apply your science knowledge based skills through chemistry, processing technology, engineering and physics to make healthy foods for society through better technique and management.  Here at Cal Poly, there is a Food Science Society club that you can join.  Not only is it a fun way to meet some of your classmates who are in your major, but it also gives you the chance to network and obtain resource for your future career.

      The club was created in 2003, and has 50 members!  With that being said, every year there are several events that take place within the club.  They hold various dinners, yearly banquets, game nights and event fundraisers throughout the year including booths to raise money and awareness about the different aspects of the major.  The officers of the club also invite individuals out from the field to come in a speak to students about how they can obtain jobs in the field and the different aspects of Food Science. 

     Another important aspect of the club is that they make an annual trip to the IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) convention and encourage all members of the club to join the Institute of Food Technologist Student Association, also known as IFTSA.  At the convention, members will be given access to resources and other food science members and employers for a chance to dive deeper into the degree.  The official website for IFT is: https://www.ift.org/  To gain more access to club updates and member activity, join the Food Science Society Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cpp.fss/timeline.  There you will have a chance to see what is going on within the club on a  daily basis and can post questions or comments you have about the club or just food in general!
