Jenny Snyder is pursuing a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. She is the President of the Student Dietetic Association (SDA) and Food Recovery Heroes (FRH). SDA promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, community involvement, and nutrition education. FRH is a student organization dedicated to eliminating food waste and food insecurity by diverting surplus food from on- and off-campus locations to Pitt Pantry and other local hunger-fighting organizations. These two organizations allow her to engage in the intersection between nutrition and food insecurity.
Her research is focused on nutrient and carbon footprint analysis of recovered hospital meals and how that relates to patient readmission rates.
