A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):

A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:

IUPUI Food Services has reduced animal-derived food purchases by combining animal-derived food with vegetarian products. Example: Instead of purchasing twice as much ground beef, we order half as much ground beef and mix with our ground vegetarian patties, we already have on property for catering events. This also helps nutritionally.

Introduced more vegetarian options into dining menu rotation, as well as running a produce market one a month that provides local, organic produce to the IUPUI community at cost.
