About The John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition at Framingham State University

The John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition uses current research and technology to educate and inform Massachusetts professionals concerned with child nutrition and healthy nutrition environments. Students must go to school with their minds and bodies ready to take advantage of the learning environment schools work so hard to prepare. The school environment plays a vital role in shaping students’ nutritional health throughout their growing years and into their adult lives. The programs offered by the Institute support schools in their efforts to integrate nutrition and culinary education, wellness policy goals, and services into comprehensive health education, food service, school health, and physical education programs. The audience for the Institute includes school meal program directors, managers, cooks, and production/service staff, educators, school nurses, early education professionals, and other professionals working to improve the nutritional health of Massachusetts’ school children.
