Mya, Cohort 2027, and Brianna, Cohort 2028, helped prepare pregame fueling for Gamecock Football ahead of the South Carolina vs. Mississippi State matchup as part of their performance nutrition supervised experience. These unique, hands-on opportunities give our students direct experience applying nutrition strategies in high-performance athletic settings—an experience that sets our program apart from traditional dietetic internships. 🏈🍎 by @uofscexsci

This summer, 2nd year PND student Justin Henderson had the opportunity to work at the Charleston Air Force Base under the mentorship of preceptor Alaine Mills. During his rotation, Justin helped to provide nutrition education on fueling and refueling for the updated Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment, as well as nutrition strategies for pilots during 24+ hour flights. Great work! by @uofscexsci

A way overdue post! Had a great time with this crew last week at the @nscaofficial National Conference in NOLA. It's always bittersweet when you realize this is the last time this particular group was going to be all together as @em_worley and @gianna__m are graduating and moving on. Ok, technically Gianna is staying around, but now she'll be a big, bad post-doc.

Also, much love as always to this awesome organization. I'm proud to get to serve as Vice President!

Another great week at the @the_issn International Society of Sports Nutrition Annual Conference! I always appreciate what @supphd does to make it feel like family. Fantastic talks by @closenutrition and @trentstellingwerff this year, but it was even better to get a chance to catch up. We don't get to see each other often enough, guys!

And, as always, I'm so proud of our @uofscsportsci & @uofscexsci group. Standout presentations by @katie.hirsch_phd and @ricky_romersi (his 1st oral presentation at a national conference). And congrats (again) to the incomparable @gianna__m for getting on the podium with awards for the data blitz AND best PhD student posters. This group is awesome.

Come for the science, stay for the people.

📢📢BIG NEWS TO SHARE!! We've been working on this for a while and I can finally say that @uofscexsci in the @usc_arnoldschool officially has an ACCREDITED MS program in PERFORMANCE NUTRITION AND DIETETICS! We are one of only a few Performance Nutrition MS/RD programs in the entire country. It will launch this Fall and we are now accepting applications for the first cohort. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this a reality. This was one of my main initiatives when I accepted the role as Department Chair, so I'm pretty stoked we pulled this off! SPURS UP!
