Purdue food science video scavenger hunt welcomes new majors
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented large hurdles to overcome, particularly for Purdue’s new incoming students. Allie Kingery, the department’s undergraduate academic adviser, approached the food science club officers with the idea of making a Philip E. Nelson Hall Scavenger Hunt video for the department’s freshmen seminar class. Purdue’s Food Science Club jumped at the opportunity to help. The club members remembered having the scavenger hunt in the beginning weeks of their freshmen year and how fun it was to explore the building.
With circumstances preventing an in-person scavenger hunt from taking place this year, the club officers instead produced a video that showcased Nelson Hall and promoted some of the professional and personal development opportunities within the department.
According to the club’s president, Erin Sukala, all the members were excited to welcome the incoming students. “We really wanted to do something to help the incoming food science majors feel welcome and connected even during this unprecedented time,” said Sukala. “As club president, I was incredibly proud to see how well our officer team worked together and it makes me excited to see what our club can achieve this year, even under abnormal circumstances.”
