CSUN USDA Pathway Students Continue to Shine and Persevere

When news of CSUN’s campus closure and transition to virtual learning was announced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it became apparent that essential changes needed to be made in order for the USDA Pathways Program to continue running successfully. The Pathways to Success Program is a USDA-funded professional development program that prepares students for a career as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

"Kitchen Kapers” Luncheon

The MMC was honored to host the “Kitchen Kapers” luncheon on March 1st, a donor appreciation event held on campus that highlighted the release of the 3rd edition of the MMC Wellness Kitchen Cookbook. This edition is a unique compilation of Marilyn Magaram’s original recipes which we were privileged to receive from her daughter, Jodi, after the MMC’s 25th Anniversary celebration in 2016, and since then it has been our desire to create this nostalgic collection as a tribute to Marilyn and her passion for nutrition and low-calorie gourmet cooking.
