Student Clubs | Food Science & Nutrition

Food Science Club

Even if you have never been a joiner, you will want to join the Food Science Club.

Why join? Because the art of interacting with your fellow students, just as you will interact with your business colleagues after graduation, is one of the most important benefits of participating as a club member.

You will be engaged in all sorts of interesting activities like production of delicious olallieberry jam, sold at Cal Poly’s Campus Market. Members participate in Homecoming and Open House; interact with speakers from industry; and attend off-campus professional meetings. And, if that isn’t enough, the club officers (which you will want to become in your junior or senior year) plan social gatherings, including the end-of-the-year banquet.

2022-23 Club Officers:

Presidents – Nia Bowdoin and Joshua Salomon

Vice President – Catherine Moore

Treasurer – Nina De Leon

Secretary – Sebastian Montero-Quemado

Food Coordinators – Ethan Rodricks and Natalie Roman

Public Relations – Ellie Conlin-Day

Being in the club is a key part of your experience as a Food Science major and helps develop the talents and skills you’ll need to be a leader once you leave Cal Poly. And, your resume will look well-rounded as your club experiences serve to enhance your marketability. For more information contact the club at:

Nutrition Club

The Nutrition Club is an excellent group for students involved or interested in the nutrition field.

The club provides a great social network for students to meet each other and participate in social events. There are lots of volunteer opportunities for students to get hands-on learning experience in the food and nutrition industry.

Our meetings feature professional speakers who provide information about internships, job opportunities, and updates on nutrition research and developments. Members of the Nutrition Club have a chance to learn about what is going on in the field of nutrition, make networking connections and find an excellent group of friends.
