A brief description of each certified dining hall or food service outlet, including the year the certification was achieved and/or renewed:
Our entire dining service has been awarded a three-star rating by the Green Restaurant Association for several years in a row, the last one being awarded on May 4, 2016. Our dining folks are outstanding in terms of waste diversion (currently over 83%), using local, sustainable food, scratch cooking to produce wonderful meals, a vegan bar - which helps us meet our goal of serving over 30% main courses that are vegetarian, having the highest percentage on campus of electric vehicles, and many other sustainable practices that are too numerous to list -
