For me, nutrition was more than an undergraduate elective course. In this course, Dr. Ruggieri provided the stepping stones to a healthy life style.

Her energetic, professional, and compassionate teaching styles allow students to truly benefit. Dr. Ruggieri enforces the fundamentals of nutrition, embodies the importance of health, and stresses the importance of small life changes. Unlike many professors, Dr. Ruggieri makes lasting relationships with her students, allowing them to apply her teachings to everyday life. With the use of videos, simple suggestions, and empirical evidence, Dr. Ruggieri’s nutrition class has contributed to my dietary decisions and healthy lifestyle. My educational experience and guidance from Dr. Ruggieri has lead me to academic excellence and more importantly, a heightened understanding about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
