Menu Labeling
Our dining halls use a variety of icons and callouts to label items that fit certain diet and wellness criteria. If you’re following a specific diet like vegetarianism, or are trying to add better sources of protein to your diet, be on the lookout for these symbols. Items that fit into one of these categories are marked on menu cards in the dining halls and the menu screens at Pioneer and Middlebrook Dining Hall, but this information can also be found on the menus on our Dine On Campus app and website.

Halal and Pork Ingredients
There is a Halal Station at Pioneer Dining Hall that is open for the breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal periods. In addition to this station at Pioneer, all dining halls will utilize 'Halal' and 'Contains Pork' callouts on their menu cards for guests to quickly verify if a product contains pork or is prepared Halal. Guests can also view the menu and meal ingredients in advance on our Dine on Campus app.
Commitment to Vegan and Vegetarian Foods
By contract, we are dedicated to providing a large percentage of vegan and vegetarian options in our dining halls. We offer a wide variety of plant-based options in both residential and retail dining. Click here for a list of plant-based options from our retail locations across campus.

Feel Good Foods
The Feel Good Foods program is aimed at highlighting key nutrient-dense foods available within our dining facilities each month. These foods help us to feel our healthiest by supporting our physical and/or mental health. Keep an eye out for events like Teaching Kitchens that highlight the Feel Good Food of the month.
