Eight undergraduate students will graduate this spring and summer with a minor in food studies, the first such degrees awarded in the program’s history.The food studies minor was launched in fall 2016 with a celebratory event on the campus quad featuring pretzels and fresh-pressed apple cider; since then, nearly 60 undergraduates have declared the minor. Program director Stephen Wooten, an international studies professor, attributes the rapid growth of the program to the broad appeal of food studies.
