FOOD & NUTRITION
Dining is an integral part of the college experience, and we understand the importance of quality, fresh, and flavorful food. Our menu options are carefully crafted to satisfy all taste buds and dietary preferences.
SUSTAINABILITY: A SHARED COMMITMENT
Sustainability represents a core commitment rather than simply a set of practices. We encourage our guests to participate in environmentally responsible decisions that contribute to the well-being of our planet.
KNOW YOUR SOURCE
We proudly partner with local farmers and producers to bring you fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients. By knowing where your food comes from, you’re supporting regional economies and reducing environmental impact. Learn more about our Know Your Source Program here.
COMPOST & RECYCLE
Our culinary team composts pre-consumer waste, such as scraps and trimmings from fruits and vegetables during food preparation. We also recycle boxes and aluminum cans from deliveries. We also make it easy to sort waste properly with clearly marked compost and recycling stations. Together, we can divert waste from landfills and return nutrients to the earth.
FILL IT FORWARD
Our new Fill it Forward reusable container program provides students with the flexibility and convenience to take their dining hall meal to go, while minimizing our environmental impact. The new Fill it Forward mobile app tracks when a student checks-out a container, brings it back, and helps to measure how much plastic they are saving!
REDUCE FOOD WASTE
In the kitchen, food is batch-cooked as needed to ensure freshness and manage waste levels. In the dining hall, individuals are encouraged to take portions they expect to eat, with the option to get more if needed.
