Commencement 2017: Peggy Spangler, BS Nutrition

After a career as a food scientist in dairy product development, Peggy took a break to be a stay-at- home mom. It was during this time that she thought long and hard about what she wanted to do for the remainder of her career. She arrived at the decision that she would return to school as a non-traditional student and shift her career path. This would allow her to live her true passion ­­– helping people achieve or maintain their health through their food choices.
