Committed to responding to the nutritional interest of the student body.
The mission of our nutrition program is to provide students with the information needed to make healthy eating choices in the dining area if they desire to do so. Several nutrition services are provided to ensure we meet this mission:
- A Nutrition Analysis provides nutrient information on the entrees plus items served in other areas such as the condiment area, dessert areas, salad bar and beverages.
- How to use Nutritional Analysis (download)
- Nutrition Fact Sheets are located in the dining area to provide information on topics of popular interest.
- A Registered Dietitian is available to speak to students on an individual or group basis to help with special diets or help students eat healthy while living on campus.
If you would like to make a suggestion on the types of nutrition services provided or would like to schedule an appointment with our dietitian, please leave a message along with your name and number at 289-5768 or leave your message in the comment box located in the Dining Area.
SPECIAL DIETS, FOOD ALLERGIES
The Dining Services Department works in cooperation with the Student Health Services and the Registered Dietitian from Dining Services to provide for specific clinical dietary needs. Our Department makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies and every effort is made to instruct our food production and service staff on the severity of food allergies. In addition, we label items with possible allergen-containing ingredients; however, there is always a risk of contamination. There is also the possibility that manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could chnage formulation at any time, without notice.
Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of the risk. Students with food allergies are encouraged to contact dining services for additional information and/or support.
- Nut Allergies
- Every effort is made to label items containing nuts. The risk of cross-contamination is always an issue at the self-serve stations. Please ask your server for fresh product if there is a concern.
