Nutrition
Ms. Stout earned a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics Education from UNCG in 1973 and a Master’s degree in Food, Nutrition and Institution Management in 1982.
She taught Home Economics in High Point city schools for a handful of years before finding her dual passion in her current role of providing dining services for the geriatric population. She has been Director of Dining Services at Friends Homes Guilford in Greensboro for 38 years where she contributes daily to residents’ quality of life.
Her other passion is mentoring. She serves as site director for the UNCG dietetic internship program, volunteering more than 750 work hours annually toward mentoring dietetic interns. She also coordinates the undergraduate dietetics volunteer program.
As a site director, her contributions to the knowledge-base of nutrition students through teaching and training is invaluable.
There have been countless times when she accepted our students into her operation on very short notice. Ms. Stout is truly a “Pacesetter;” she contributes daily to residents’ quality of life at Friends Homes. She demonstrates a commitment to her profession as a foodservice specialist, leader and servant.
