The 2010 Western Carolina University Young Alumna Award honored Elizabeth Wall-Bassett, an East Carolina University faculty member who completed her bachelor's degree at WCU with a double major in biology and economics in 2000. Wall-Bassett is now a registered dietitian, an assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics at East Carolina University and an adjunct professor in ECU's Brody School of Medicine. She has helped develop programs and initiatives that promote nutrition and food security not only in the Carolinas but also in the Commonwealth of Dominica, a mountainous Caribbean island home to about 70,000 people. For more than six years, she has worked collaboratively with Dominica's Ministry of Health and the Environment and the Ministry of Education, Human Resource Development, Sports and Youth Affairs on initiatives ranging from developing school feeding programs to training programs for health workers that cover topics such as basic nutrition principles and food safety and sanitation techniques. http://alumni.wcu.edu
