College Network
As college students head off to campus for the first time, it’s a good idea for them to check out FAAN’s College Network! This is an online searchable database that offers contact information for personnel (primarily dietitians) on campuses across the country so that individuals can learn about campus food allergy management policies. Each college in the database has a College Representative listed who can assist new students. Additionally, Student Ambassadors, who are students currently attending college, can be found in the database. These Ambassadors can offer valuable insight into managing food allergies on campus. If you know anyone interested in serving as a Student Ambassador, please let them know about this website. There is a form online that can be filled out and submitted for consideration.

Food Allergens and Medications Survey
FAAN and researchers at the University of Michigan have created a brief, anonymous online survey about food allergens and medications. We invite you to take the short survey, as we hope to present the results to theFDA, the federal agency that oversees the labeling of medications.
