Powers honored with namesake campus room
The University of Georgia has dedicated a student activities room to former IFT President John J. Powers. Powers, the William Terrell Distinguished Professor Emeritus, headed the university’s Dept. of Food Science for 15 years in the 1950s and 1960s and established the university’s food science graduate program. Sixty-two graduates of the department funded reconstruction of a former abattoir to create the room.
