Eating and sharing what happened during your day over a meal is important to all of us.
That’s why we make sure everyone can eat safely.
If you have food allergies or special dietary needs eating may have an element of risk. For this reason, we take food allergies and dietary preferences seriously, as we want you to have an amazing experience just like every other student. Your dining team will work with you to listen, prepare, and serve every meal with care and safety so that you can dine with confidence.
What should you do if you have allergies or dietary needs?
1. Contact Your Food Service Director

Having a simple conversation at the beginning of an academic semester to state your needs, ask questions and troubleshoot different situations is critical for developing a safe and nutritional meal plan.

2. Learn and Understand Allergy Icons
We have established a set of allergy icons that will identify ingredients that may cause an allergic reaction. There are eight icons. These icons will be placed on food item identification monitors so that all will be aware.

3. Entree Names are Key to Safe Eating

Many of the items that will be served as entrees may have the allergen mentioned in the name, which is key for you to read and understand. However, always check the allergen icons on a dish.

4. When in Doubt, Ask!

Our goal is to provide each student with an exceptional dining experience in all aspects. If you are unsure about a dish, ask a server or speak to the chef. Our staff is happy to help you.

We know that students are busy and often must eat on the run. This need makes to-go dining very popular on our campus but also generates massive amounts of waste. Much of this waste is diverted from landfills by utilizing recyclable and compostable packaging but Eco-Ware aims to avoid the use of this packaging altogether by shifting from single-use to reusable containers.

How does eco-ware work in the Caf?

Let the cashier know that you would like to take food to go. The cashier will give you a clean Eco-Ware container and a to-go beverage cup when they swipe you into the dining hall.

Now fill the container with whatever you would like, from any station. Keep in mind that the container must close, but you can still choose to take a piece of hand fruit as well.

No need to stop back at the cashier stand, just exit and enjoy your meal.

When you’re finished, empty the container and return it to the cashier at the Caf. They will take your dirty container and give you a tag or a clean container, if you wish to go again. If you do not have a tag or dirty container, you will be asked for a $5 deposit for an additional container.

Now the cycle repeats and you will reduce your environmental footprint by using your container again and again!

This program is available every day of the week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Please note that you must leave with your meal.
