CHL Graduate Training Program

An objective of the CHL Food Systems program is to train a next generation of food and nutrition resiliency professionals in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific. 

Kristi Hammond, right, a St. John’s School and UOG alumna with a master’s in sustainable agriculture, food, and natural resources, and Hannah Shai, left, who holds a Master of Public Health in nutrition, were the Guam and Northern Mariana Islands selectees, respectively, for the CHL Food Systems graduate assistantship.

The program will fund their completion of a Ph.D. in nutritional sciences at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, which they began in 2023.
