TECHNOLOGY has taken over the world and the food industry is no exception. Join us for tech talks, food hackathons, and much more.


What is FST?


Food Science and Tech at Cal aims to bring together students at UC Berkeley who share a passion for food science and related technologies. We are the first and only food science organization on campus, and work closely with the College of Chemistry and Department of Nutritional Sciences to educate about food related issues. During the year we bring in guest speakers and go on factory tours to provide a real-world look into the food industry, conduct student-led research through the College of Chemistry, hold educational workshops to teach about food science concepts, and work together to develop innovative food ideas for competition. Our club is open to all UC Berkeley students of any major. Feel free to email us at fstatcal@gmail.com or just drop by any of our meetings.

I am running to be YOUR Food Science and Tech at Cal President for the 2016-2017 school year. Currently, I am serving you as your Vice President, and I have served you as Secretary since the establishment of the club. Through these two positions, I have garnered a lot of experience as to how clubs are run logistically and what it takes to cast and execute the club vision. It has been rewarding seeing our student organization grow as a community as well as in our curiosity towards the food industry. If elected, I intend to continue this pursuit of learning by actively searching for new club opportunities like competitions and hackathons, as well as maintaining traditions our club has grown to love, like cooking challenges! Even with my extensive experience as a leader of this organization, I am always looking to improve upon existing ideas and am not afraid of change. I look forward to serving this club once more!

TL;DR: Rochelle + Food Science and Tech @ Cal = WOW/AMAZING/FANTASTIC
