About Lillian Fountain Smith
The conference honors Lillian Fountain Smith, a 1918 graduate in home economics at Colorado State University. Recognizing the importance of nutrition in her own life and the lives of her family members, Smith chose to support nutrition outreach activities in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. The conference – including the affordable registration costs – is sustained by the Lillian Fountain Smith Conference Endowment, established with a bequest from Smith’s estate.
The Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition is part of CSU’s College of Health and Human Sciences.
