Nutrition
Healthy Eating
Providing you with healthy options is something your dining team proudly does every day. We help you select delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals, snacks and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and providing nutritional information and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.
Food Allergies
Gluten-Free Options
We offer a wide variety of gluten free options at all of our dining locations. This allows students to make safe choices while still having the freedom to dine throughout our facilities. If you are unsure of the ingredients in an item available, please ask a staff member for assistance.
Simple Zone:
Simple Zone is our campus "pantry" located in the dining hall, where food items needed by students with food allergies or Celiac disease are stored and prepared with precautions against cross-contact. The Simple Zone area is free of tree nuts, peanuts, and gluten containing ingredients and products.
