Since 1985, the Institute of Food Technologists Student Association (IFTSA) College Bowl Competition has tested the knowledge of student teams from across the United States in the following areas: food science and technology, the history of foods and food processing, food law, and general IFT/food-related trivia. The College Bowl is designed to facilitate interaction among students from different universities and provides a forum for students to engage in friendly competition.

Teams for IFTSA Student Chapters compete in regional competitions within eight geographical areas.

FSTC's College Bowl Team won second place in the South Central Area IFTSA College Bowl Competition. Congratulations!

Members of the Loudest and the Proudest 2024 Texas A&M College Bowl Team include Diego Gonzalez, James Jeffrey, Janice Leung, Maddie Pike, and Maddie Shults.  Our team was the only team comprised fully of undergraduate students, which says a lot about the caliber of our undergraduates!

Arkansas placed first in the competition, with our former student, Andrew Maust, leading Arkansas in the final round in questions answered correctly. LSU placed third in the competition.

Congratulations to the team!
