A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
UMD hired a Dietician, Jean Rodvold, in 2013 to help in organizing, educating, and changing food to include healthier options. Vegetarian options are available and many vegan options are offered. Gluten-friendly, vegetarian, vegan, and locally-sourced foods are in the process of being labeled more clearly, with student-designed labels.
A new sub shop was built, Great Lakes Grains, and many of the subs offered are vegetarian (including a hummus-based sandwich and an avocado/vegetable sub). The sub wrappers are completely compostable as well!
