Two ISU Students Arrowood and Schneider for Outstanding Performance

POCATELLO – This month’s Journal of the American Dietetic Association recognized Dawnett Arrowood as ISU’s Outstanding Dietetic Student of the Year and Ruth Schneider as Idaho’s Outstanding Registered Dietician of the Year.
The Outstanding Dietetics Student Award encourages participation in the American Dietetic association by recognizing the emerging leadership and achievement of students in dietetics education programs that are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education. States may select one student recipient from each type of education program: Dietetic Internship, Coordinated Program and Dietetic Technician Program.
Recipients of the Outstanding Dietitian of the Year have made distinguished contributions to advancing the profession. The criteria and the name of the award are determined by each state organization.
