The Award
"The foundation is Purdue, but the success is your
own. ”
The Hall of Fame Award honors alumni of this department
who have made a significant contribution to the varied fields
of foods and nutrition and established a unique record in
their work and life. The Hall of Fame also honors the careers
of those who have contributed to the growth and prominence
of this department, though not alumni of this department.
Foods and Nutrition has been a department in the College
of Consumer and Family Science, formerly Home Economics,
since its inception in 1927. To highlight successful graduates
from these many years is a daunting task. But this inaugural
group stands out. They are truly exceptional!
Please congratulate the six individuals inducted for 2005.
They have made significant contributions to academia, to
industry, and to their communities. They have proven the
value of a Purdue education and they have created a standard
for future graduates. They have brought honor to the Department
of Foods and Nutrition and to Purdue.
The inaugural Hall of Fame members are, Diane
Birt, Mary Fuqua, Sarah
Johnson, Sue Palmore, Karyl
Rickard and Linda Van Horn.
