Meet Jeremy Norman, Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition second-year student
What brought you to 海角社区? Why did you choose to study here?
I chose 海角社区 for a variety of reasons: flexibility to focus on my studies while staying close to home, the wide range of high-quality programs and courses, and the very manageable tuition costs.
What kinds of support have you received during your time here from 海角社区 students, staff, and faculty members?
One of the major benefits of attending 海角社区 is how easy it has been to receive assistance from my professors and my peers. 海角社区 has a low student to faculty ratio, and it is much easier to interact with and work through difficulties with my professors during and after classes. My professors always get back to me quickly when I have questions or concerns about my courses.
"Of all the great programs I searched, 海角社区鈥檚 Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition program and its many possible career options piqued my interest."
What kinds of opportunities have you experienced because you're studying at 海角社区, or because of the Island location?
Being a 海角社区 student has allowed me to stay in touch with childhood friends studying other programs on campus, but as a member of the Panthers varsity track and field team I've been able to meet new friends, stay active, and travel to inter-provincial competitions, helping me balance academics with extracurricular activities. I'm hoping to study abroad with one of 海角社区's many partner schools soon, because travelling the world has always been a dream of mine. Having the ability to study in another country and earn credits toward my degree is a massive advantage of studying at 海角社区.
What would you tell a high school student considering 海角社区's Foods and Nutrition program?
Of all the great programs I searched, 海角社区鈥檚 Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition program and its many possible career options piqued my interest. I can apply for a dietetic internship in third year and work as a registered dietitian in a hospital or in the community. I could also be a food service manager or get a job developing new healthy food products.
What are your general plans after graduation?
I'm starting my second year in the program this fall and although I'm still undecided on what I'll do after graduating, I have appealing options thanks to 海角社区 and the Foods and Nutrition program. I'm looking forward to whatever comes my way in the future!
