had the good fortune of meeting Susan Finn while we were both pursuing our PhD degrees at Te Ohio State
University. As Dr Finn was completing her PhD in 1972, I was beginning to work on mine. I have followed her amazing career for several decades. With- out question, Dr Finn has been a trailblazer, making significant contributions to policy, corporate nutrition, higher education, and the nonprofit sector. She is highly respected as a leading nutrition authority and strategist. In recognition of her many accomplish- ments, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has honored her with the prestigious Marjorie Hulsizer Copher Award, the highest honor they bestow. Similarly, both Te Ohio State University and Bowling Green University have recognized her as an outstanding graduate.
I can say with complete confidence that Dr Finn’s book
Nutrition Authority: Perspectives on Opportunity should be required reading for all students who aspire to a career in food, nutrition, and dietetics.
