Food Science Students Highlighted in Compatible Technology International

(11/02/09)  Five Food Science students were highlighted in the Compatible Technology International (CTI) October 2009 Post Harvest newsletter.  As was recently announced, at an international conference of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), five University of Minnesota students, Wilfredo Dominguez, Eric Hedstrand, Sravanthi Priya Malaypally, Wynnie Margatan and Heather Taterka won the prestigious Developing Solutions for Developing Countries Award from the IFT.  There was a small monetary award that went with the prestige.  These students, over the period of their involvement with CTI's technologies, had come to believe in the CTI Mission.  They therefore decided to donate to CTI a portion of their winnings.  CTI was most impressed with the generosity!
