The information provided in this section is from the 2014 calendar year. In May 2015, UWRF's food service provider changed from Sodexo to Chartwells. Getting information from two vendors during a transition was difficult so we are reporting the last full year (2014) under one vendor, Sodexo. The 2016 calendar year will be reported next year with information provided from Chartwells.
