Description
The purpose of the Pet Food Science Club (PFSC) is to create a community for students interested in companion animal nutrition, feed formulation, food science, food production, and processing. The club highlights the many exciting and diverse opportunities within the pet food industry and related fields. Through interactive meetings, industry tours, and networking events with professionals, peers, and Iowa State University faculty, PFSC fosters an environment for students to expand their knowledge of one of the most resilient industries. By developing strong professional relationships, members gain valuable insights and connections that help prepare them for future careers improving the lives of pets through the food they eat.
