A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
There are a variety of vegan options available in both residential and retail dining at each meal period every day. Information is readily available through our onsite registered dietitian who can address any food allergies, sensitivities, or diets students, staff or faculty have. We also provide nutritional information in a dining hall through five conveniently located iPads and online through our website and app.
None
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
Every month during the Fall and Spring semester, we host a "Farm to Fork" event to promote local producers and farmers of vegetables and fruits. They visit our campus and sample their products as well as educate students on the impacts of animal-derived foods on the environment.
For Earth Day 2015, we partnered with the university's sustainability office to provide education on water conservation during their annual Earth Fair. We provided free animal-derived, water-sensitive food samples. Students were asked to guess how many gallons of water go into a pound of everyday foods such as a chicken, tofu, red meat, chocolate, apples, and oranges.
