The 27th annual FACS alumni luncheon was held on April 23, 2014 on the UCA campus. Approximately 100 people attended this year’s luncheon. Attendees enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Dr. Amy Beard entitled “Hippocrates Health.” Dr. Beard shared her philosophy of concierge medicine and encouraged students and alumni to embrace entrepreneurship.

One scholarship fund has been established for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in nutrition named in honor of Dr. Nina Roofe.
