We are also in early collaboration with some amazing and inspiring organizations to connect the ASLF to Apprentices, including:

NYU Steinhardt Department of Nutrition and Food Studies

New York, NY

The Department’s innovative mission is to educate students, professionals, and the public about the role of food and nutrition in all aspects of life. Department faculty apply and integrate this information through undergraduate, master’s or doctoral degree programs, research, and community outreach in two distinct but related areas of study: 1) Nutrition and Dietetics and 2) Food Studies. Students gain practical expertise and critical insight focused on the relationships among human consumption, food systems, culture, and health. They are prepared for diverse careers in health care, community health settings, culinary and food industries, government and non-profit organizations, and academia.
