With well over 900 registered student organizations at Virginia Tech, there is truly something for everyone right here on campus. We offer several groups for food science students looking to connect with other like-minded students interested in exploring different aspects of their field, networking, social events, and learning new skills.


Food Science Club

The Food Science Club at Virginia Tech is a non-profit student organization dedicated to promoting the field of food science and technology through education and service. Meet other students, hear from industry guest speakers, compete in product development competitions, and more. 


Phi Tau Sigma Honor Society for Food Science and Technology

The Virginia Tech chapter of the Phi Tau Sigma Honor Society for Food Science and Technology honors and elevates the accomplishments of students in food science and technology. Members organize social events, host poster competitions, and are recognized for their contributions within the program and industry.


The Alt Protein Project at Virginia Tech
