Alumni Spotlight

ACES Outstanding Young Alumni Award

Eleftherios (Terry) Moros (BS ’98, MS ’00) is an exceptional model of an alumnus who has employed his University of Illinois education to reach professional milestones, while continuing to give back to the community, the food industry, and his alma mater. After earning a B.S. (1998) and M.S. (2000) degrees in food science, Terry began his career at Frito-Lay in Plano, Texas, developing new products, launching flavor extensions, and leading numerous projects. Additionally, he now supervises 14 associates in the research and development and operations analytical labs. Terry volunteers at many levels, and he is committed to helping students to be successful in their professional lives. He has been part of the Frito-Lay University of Illinois recruiting team and serves as a resource for students during their job search. An example of Terry's commitment to students occurred earlier this year when the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition hosted a 4-H summer academy with the Illinois 4-H program. Terry organized a group of his colleagues to provide personal financial support for the program, once again illustrating his strong and continuous commitment to foster and support the food science-related interests of young people.

Terry was recognized by the ACES Alumni Association at the ACES College Connection event held on November 13, 2009.
