Please join us in congratulating Elizabeth Gunner as the 2023 Genesee Dietetic Association Scholarship winner! The Nancy DeMuth Ruhle Scholarship is awarded to a nutrition student who demonstrates leadership, engagement within the dietetic community and strives to continue these qualities within the dietetic profession. Elizabeth has been praised not just for her commitment to academic excellence, but for her efforts to uplift the community, her leadership skills and her passion for nutrition beyond the classroom.  These are just a few of the traits that Professors have shared about Elizabeth. In addition, her volunteer work at the American Diabetes Association, Veterans Rebuilding Life, The Ugandan Water Project and Cornell University Dietetics Association, illustrates her passion of service.
