June 6 Dietitians' Day Message

Dear Colleagues and Beloved Students,

I sincerely congratulate all our dietitians who work with great dedication to protect and promote health and enhance quality of life, on the occasion of Dietitians' Day.

The field of Nutrition and Dietetics not only supports individuals in achieving healthy eating habits, but also plays a vital role in strengthening public health. This valuable profession — grounded in scientific knowledge, committed to ethical values, and touching human lives — grows more significant with each passing day.

Dietitians bear great responsibility in the prevention of diseases, the support of treatment processes, and the raising of healthy generations. The efforts of all our colleagues who fulfill this responsibility with excellence are truly commendable.
I have full confidence that our students, the dietitians of the future, will be raised with the same awareness and sense of responsibility. Drawing strength from science, ethical principles, and professional solidarity, we will continue to work toward a healthier society.

On this meaningful day, I congratulate all our dietitians who have devoted themselves to their profession, and our students who are the dietitian candidates of the future, on the occasion of June 6 World Dietitians' Day. I wish them health, success, and many wonderful achievements throughout their professional lives, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude for their invaluable contributions to a healthier society.

Respectfully yours,

Prof. Dr. Gülgün Ersoy
