I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Food and Nutrition at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). The school has nothing to do with the state of Indiana, but rather our town is called “Indiana” and our county is shaped like the state of Indiana.

In an ideal world, the profession of dietetics would increase in diversity substantially, particularly on the basis of gender, race and ethnicity. We would have dietetics professionals available to serve and relate to all American residents, and to lead nutrition-focused businesses that meet the needs of consumers. The healthcare industry would acknowledge the value that dietitians play in healthcare in every state; dietitians would be eligible for reimbursement for a robust list of disease prevention and management services and dietitians would be able to write diet and nutrition-related orders in all clinical facilities.
