A Guide to Food Allergy Resources on Campus

We consistently strive to improve the options offered to our vegetarian and vegan customers.

• We rely on the efforts of the Food Committee, a growing number of vegan students, and other sources of student input, such as napkin notes.
• There are always two vegetarian entrée choices offered on campus. We are always testing new recipes and will provide comment cards for your remarks regarding everything from appearance to spicing. Your suggestions will be instrumental in fine-tuning our program.
• We also feature an expanded rotation of pasta bar sauces. Each unit will rotate a selection of vegan, vegetarian, and meat sauces so that on any given night, our vegan and vegetarian customers will have a different sauce selection available at every dining hall. 
• We will continually be testing a number of new products on our deli and salad bars. Again, your review and comments will be most helpful. Our thanks to the vegan students who volunteered their time to help improve our vegan program.

New Dorm Dining Hall continues to serve as the focus of our vegan program. We offer:

• Vegan/vegetarian bar
• Vegan bread selection
• Added vegan salad bar choices
• Vegan desserts

Erdman Dining Hall will also have vegan breakfast alternatives available upon request, such as vegan waffles.

All dining units feature:
