Percentage of total dining services food purchases comprised of conventionally produced animal products:
A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory expenditures on animal products:
This is a complete estimate based off of a 2012 student report on local and sustainable food purchases. The student did not attempt to breakdown animal product purchases so we had to estimate this based on the data we did have.
Does the institution offer diverse, complete-protein vegan dining options at all meals in at least one dining facility on campus?:
Does the institution provide labels and/or signage that distinguishes between vegan, vegetarian (not vegan), and other items?:
Are the vegan options accessible to all members of the campus community?:
A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
We have a vegan bar (The Wild Mushroom) available for every dinner in our main dining hall. We also have vegetarian and vegan options for every meal.
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
Students working in the Office of Sustainability and as members of several environmentally-focused student clubs have organized advocated for meatless Mondays and other awareness campaigns to reduce consumption of animal products.
