Welcome to the Nutrition Consortium at the University of South Carolina, Arnold School of Public Health.
The Consortium is comprised of outstanding interdisciplinary scholars and stakeholders engaged in meaningful research and transformational activities in the field of nutrition. Researchers in the Consortium work to understand how nutritional components interact with a variety of contexts, including political, physical, economic, and social structures.
This year’s symposium will focus on The Future of Nutrition and aims to encourage collaboration, generate new knowledge, and share exceptional research across the spectrum of nutrition science. Participants will have the opportunity to learn, network, and engage with faculty, students, and community members.
New this year: Attendees will have the option to purchase lunch as part of the event. Additional
details, including pricing and menu options, are outlined in the registration form.
The full program will be released soon, so stay tuned!
