The Department of Food Science invites alumni back to campus to celebrate its 100th Anniversary.

On April 27, 1918, the trustees of Massachusetts Agricultural College established the nation's first food science department, then known as the Department of Horticultural Manufacturing. Over the years, the UMass food science program has transformed into one of the world's strongest of its kind.

Join classmates in Amherst for a weekend of memorable milestone celebrations and reunions, exciting events, grab bags, raffles, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with friends.
