As an old student, it was not lost on me that the NWU nutrition department had a special magic. Now many years later, having had exposure to various other tertiary centres and research, I'm deeply grateful for the vision she instilled for CEN and the commitment from her researcher team to create that physical space for nutrition excellence. What I learned at CEN transcended beyond realising my dream to be a healthcare professional whose advice people can count on (due to principles of EBN) but also helped prepare me as a young professional how to conduct myself based on the example that was set at that department. This I believe changed my life for the better. Just shows the power of the ripple effect in just three generations.
