It is human nature to approach change with reservation and suspicion. For universities, which are often considered among the most conservative of institutions, change is essential.
New knowledge is generated every day in the research labs and seminars of the division.
This knowledge expands our understanding of the basic biology of nutrition and serves as the basis for formulation of new approaches to solving problems of malnutrition worldwide. We presume these changes will lead to a better world. Changes to the general academic environment are equally important for making progress. Just as we all witnessed the transition to a new millennium, DNS has been experiencing change in key areas of our academic programs. I mentioned in previous messages the extensive self-study and external review that the division underwent last year.
