December 2025 Directors’ Message
As we approach the end of the year and the busy holiday season begins, we want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for your dedication, passion, and thoughtful contributions to the launch of ICON-Health. Your engagement and enthusiasm exemplify the ICON-Health vision—that research addressing the connections between nutrition and health is a team effort, uniting disciplines across the FSU campus and our community partners to ultimately improve human health for all.
Please help us spread the word by encouraging your FSU colleagues and friends in the community to join our institute. Together, faculty, trainees, staff, and partners across campus and beyond have come together through ICON-Health to advance our mission: creating multidisciplinary, team-based science that leverages food and nutrition as powerful tools to improve public health and reduce the burden of diet-related chronic disease.
We are delighted to have launched the ICON-Health Workshops and the Eminent Scholar Seminar Series this month. Please visit our website for additional details, to nominate speakers, and to share your accomplishments through the ICON-Health website for all to see!
The holiday season is a time for celebration, reflection, and connection. We wish you and your families a safe, healthy, and joyful holiday season, and all the very best for a prosperous new year filled with new opportunities and continued success.
We deeply value your time and commitment to helping establish ICON-Health as a national and global leader in nutrition research.
Thank you for your continued dedication to our mission and for the positivity and energy you bring to the workplace every day.
