Outstanding Alumnus
As Manager of Regulatory Affairs for the Dairy Foods division of Land O’Lakes, Inc., Alumnus Tim Hight has his hands full. His duties include FDA/USDA/State contact approvals/compliance issues, all label review/approval, religious certification (kosher, halal), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) preparation, regulatory training, bioterrorism facility registrations, reportable food registry contact, and SOP preparation.
Referring to the education he received in the Online MS program, Tim said, “The global structure of the MS classes and the ability to freely interact via the class discussion boards are the best features of the MSU program, and I took full advantage of these opportunities. I have also learned since I completed my studies that by now having a Masters degree, I have the credentials I need to interact with food safety subject matter experts around the world- my MSU credentials speak for themselves in this regard.”
