FOOD & NUTRITION
Dining is an integral part of the college experience, and we understand the importance of quality, fresh, and flavorful food. Our menu options are carefully crafted to satisfy all taste buds and dietary preferences.
KNOW YOUR SOURCE
We are passionate about food. We believe that the decisions we make regarding where our food comes from, how it's sourced and how it's prepared have a direct impact on the health of our communities, environment, and guests. Because of this, our "Know Your Source" purchasing philosophy is critical to the way we do business. There are two distinct programs that bring this philosophy to life: FarmSource and Forged Partners.
FARMSOURCE PARTNERS
Our partners grow, raise, or catch our produce, dairy, eggs, seafood, and meat. They allow us to serve the freshest and highest quality products to our guests.
FORGED PARTNERS
Our partners are family and independently owned artisan makers. They allow us to introduce our guests to creative, unique, and exciting products.
Within each program, we seek to partner with growers and producers within our operating region who share our passion for food, our commitment to excellence and who foster diversity and inclusion within their company and in their community. And, of course, each must align to our company's Core Values. Ultimately, we strive to source 20% of our total spend from local partners.
