NUTRITION & DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

Dining Services strives to offer inclusive menu options and accommodate all dietary restrictions.  We have a full-time Registered Dietitian on staff that looks over all the menus and is here to help students manage their dietary needs and allergens. When guests have questions regarding allergens in a dish or item, have a manager assist in answering their questions to provide a more accurate answer.
