John C. Bruhn, FST Cooperative Extension Specialist Emeritus, is celebrating his 50-year anniversary as an IFT member.  As related by IFT's Margaret Malochleb in the June, 2020 issue of Food Technology magazine, "For John Bruhn, extension specialist emeritus at the University of California, Davis, IFT has been a part of his life since his university days. “IFT captured my attention first when I was awarded the IFT Gerber Scholarship as a junior (1957) and senior (1958) at Michigan State University,” he says. While continuing his graduate studies, and later, as a member of the faculty at the University of California, Davis, Bruhn recalls, “The Northern California Section, Dairy Foods Division, and IFT overall each provided me opportunities for society leadership, knowledge growth, and lifelong friends. IFT was an important source of scientific information that I applied to real-world problems in the food and dairy industries. IFT was the one society that meaningfully contributed to my career.”  

Congrats to John and all of the 50-year members!
