At the University of Prince Edward Island, the requirements to enter a science degree is the same whether you decide to major in Radiography or Physics. Upon acceptance, first year science students relate to each other about their teeter- ing workload and never ending lab assignments. But, as Family and Nutritional Sciences students transi-

tion into second year, they realize that although their field of study is deeply rooted in the sciences, they are learn- ing skills to serve their community. Whether, Family and Nutritional Sciences students are aspiring dietitian or Canadian Certified Family Educators (CCFE) they all share the same goal; making an impact on Canadians to lead healthy fulfilling lives. This

involvement does not begin after grad- uation day. Just this school year, the Family and Nutritional Sciences Society (FANS) has Ran for the Cure, sponsored a family at Christmas and

just recently made a donation to the Food bank by raffling a Valentine's Day basket. As a society, we have raised over $580.00 for these causes.

Along with fundraising, my fellow peers are involved with numerous vol- unteer programs such as Meal Mates at the QEH, Meals on Wheels and the C.H.A.N.C.E.S. Family Resource cen- tre, just to mention a few.

Our once small faculty is growing. The 15 graduating students of 2004 will jump to 28 by 2006. This can only mean one thing: a promise of greater things to come.
