Helen S. Mitchell Undergraduate Scholarship
Caroline Moran
Caroline Moran has just completed her bachelor’s degree in nutrition with a focus in Dietetics. She will be in the 4+1 MS in Nutrition program in Fall 2024. As an undergraduate student, Caroline worked as a teaching assistant for the Student Nutritionist Program, Nutrition 130, and as a peer advisor. Over the summer, she will become a co-researcher on a study advocating for summer lunch programs in upstate New York and is continuing a position at her local farmers’ market. Her goal is to become a Registered Dietitian with the hope of eventually starting a private practice. These aspirations align with her goal of dismantling dieting behaviors in the public and advocating for health at every size. She is filled with gratitude over being selected for the Helen S. Mitchell Scholarship and is eager to continue her education through the pursuit of a master’s degree.
It can take a community to foster just one person’s education, and it is incredibly inspiring to know that you have taken the initiative to continuously invest in students’ futures. Receiving this scholarship truly is an affirmation of the hard work I have put in over the past few years and provides motivation as I move ahead to obtain a master’s degree.
