Health & Wellness

Our dining program makes it easy to eat well, so you can focus on everything else our campus has to offer.

Food You Love, Fuel You Need

Our regional dietitian is here to support with your health and wellness journey. Whether you have specific dietary needs, questions about nutrition, or just want tips on making balanced choices, they’re here to help. From personalized consultations to wellness initiatives, they’re dedicated to helping you thrive.

    Food Allergies & Special Diets

    We are committed to nourishing all guests by providing nutritious options that fit each need, no matter where they dine on campus. We support students with food allergies and special diets for medical, religious or personal reasons by providing the knowledge and resources necessary for students to make informed food choices in our dining locations.

      Dining Tips

      • Always read the menu, ingredient, and nutrition information for foods you wish to eat to ensure you are properly avoiding the appropriate foods.
      • When in doubt regarding ingredients in a particular food, direct your questions to our manager on duty.
      • Due to the self-serve nature of the residential dining halls, if you have been prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector, carry it with you at all times.
      • Items at self-service stations may be prepared individually for you in our kitchens, just ask a chef or manager or assistance.
      • Take caution with deep fried foods as frying oil is reused before being changed and may lead to cross-contact.

      *Although we take great lengths to accommodate students with food allergies, we prepare food in open kitchens where cross contact with foods containing allergens may occur and we rely on our suppliers ingredient listings and may not be aware of ingredients contained in the food, but not listed on the container or packaging. As such, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment
